Here's to 2009!

For me, 2008 was a roller coaster ride. There were ups and downs, sudden drops and quick turns. Sometimes I had to close my eyes wanting to cry. Sometimes I couldn't help to smile and laugh. And sometimes I just wanted to scream at the top of my lungs. But most of all, it just went so fast that before I could blink it was over. Overall though, it was a great year. I experienced some new things, learned some lessons, and just had a great time living life. I wouldn't trade a single moment of 2008 for any reason - no regrets, no what ifs, no if onlys. So now I'm going into 2009 with the same state of mind. It's going to be another roller coaster ride, but it's going to be a blast. So here are some things that I hope will make it even better - my new year resolutions. I know there are a lot, but this way I can at least manage to accomplish a few of them!

New Year resolutions

1. Pray every night
2. Go to church every Sunday
3. Keep up with my journal
4. Read more
5. Stop cussing
6. Get in shape
7. Write in my blog more
8. Save money
9. Stop procrastinating
10. Work on old and new friendships
11. Work on my study abroad scrapbook
12. Listen to more music (more variety too)
13. Be more social
14. Be more honest and assertive (pretty much just stand up for myself and not let people walk all over me)
15. Start writing again
16. Work on my "things to do before I die" list
17. Try not to depend on men so much
18. Live for me

I think it's a pretty good list. We'll see how it goes. Thank you everyone who was apart of my 2008. It wouldn't have been the same without you! I hope you can be there to experience 2009 with me!

With love,

Katherine
