So, if you have read my blog for a while (whenever I post something) you know the last two years I have posted a Christmas post. I love Christmas, and I was going to do it again this year, but I had no computer to write a blog post on. Now, I do, and have decided to reflect on something else;
New Years
My second favorite time of the year. The turning of the calendar is something that I always love. I've always said that I want to go to those big New Year's parties with the balloon drop, and champagne, and the works. So far in this life, I have not gotten that chance, nor do I have any plans (yet) for this year.
However, those celebrations encompass something more; hope.
The turning of the calendar is not merely a technically thing. For many people it is a new start. It is a fresh year. It marks the start of something new. Granted, from December 31st, to January 1st, not much will have changed. I'll still be working at the same job, live in the same town, go to the same school, even be the same weight. But, it'll be 2012, the start of a new year, with new possibilities.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVED 2011. It was a GREAT year. However, 2012 has so many great things in store. Some people even think it is the year of the world's demise! Regardless, it is the time for hope. It is a time for hoping for a new start, a new beginning, and new challenges. Therefore, I leave you with these two things;
1. Make a New Year's Resolution
2. Set Goals
What better time to start something like a resolution or a goal than now? Teresa and I have already made the resolution that we will work out at the gym (or run) three times a week, and cut down on going out to eat in order to work on a healthier lifestyle. As for a goal, I currently have a 3.6 GPA at Baker. This calendar year marks my last year at Baker. My goal is to finish with at LEAST a 3.67.
Again, I encourage you, even if its small, set something to push yourself to bettering yourself in the new year. Here is to a Happy (and hopeful) New Year!
