First day of 2008...an open confession

First day of each year is a great way start anew. I like 2008 already, it is a nice round number and we get an extra day in February. Love it.

I do not do New Year's resolution.

Hopefully, I would get to spend more time with my "R" this year than last.

For my "M", I pray that he gets to start his journey this year towards fulfilling his dream.

To the first person who said, "No one really goes back home" thank you. I have pondered those words and they really are true. Everything changes with time, and nothing ever remains the same.

I am thankful for all the songs whose lyrics I now know, now I can sing along when they come on the radio.

I am looking forward to making all those new friends that I have not yet met.

I will really try to work hard in learning and remembering my spanish words and vocabulary.

In advance, I would like to apologize for all those people whose birthday I will forget, it seems at each year the number of people who birthday I forget increases as my age (ahem) increases.

The thought of going earth friendly really appeals to me, that is a MUST project for me.

I promise my friends from years past that I will keep in touch with them. One email every year does not count as keeping in touch.

I am unable to cut down on coffee so I gave us soda 4 years ago. I think I was born to drink coffee and I love it. Really.

To my very close BFFs I will try to be more updating on where I will be at a given time of the year. Sometimes I just forget to tell you that I am going on a 3, 4 or 5 month trip ..sorry.

Try to figure out how to be in 2 (or 3) places at the same time.

Not to forget that Perfection is an expectation and not an end result.

That I can survive intense disappointments, sorrow and sadness .

My quest is not for ultimate happiness ( I do not know what that is) but that I be fulfilled and content.

Self-sacrifice is most meaningful when done out of love .

Growing old gracefully, there is no such thing.

My list goes on and on...but most of all 2007 was a learning experience of my life. I look forward to 2008, this will be the best yet and I can feel the nice breeze it will bring to me this time..but again I say that every year...
