New Year is always overrated and/or disappointing for me. There's all these high hopes that everything will be different, that your life can start brand new, that you will become a completely different/slimmer/healthier/better/wiser person but that is NEVER the case.
So this year, I decided that enough is enough. I am not going to make a big deal out of the end of 2009.
2009 was, as they say, the best of times and the worst of times. On the one hand, good riddance with you, 2009, and your recession-filled economy and your graduating from college only to be jobless and living back home and facing creative unfulfillment. But on the other hand, aw, farewell 2009, with your discovery of God and faith and love and church and strengthening relationships with family and your blessed charmed living despite being utterly unworthy.
My new year resolutions are sparse but important.
*Work
*Be punctual
*Edit
*Read the bible more
*Blog more
*Be nice to my mother
*Communicate better
*Travel
*Take care of my body
*Truly love others
*Celebrate life everyday
I started the last resolution early, before the clock struck 12 at the Davidoff Lounge in Beijing's Ritz Carlton.
A couple of new friends, a few beloved family members, some fine bubbly...
And we were good to go!
I even got a kiss for the evening!
All in all, we're off to a good start. Welcome, 2010! I open my arms out to you and I hope you will return my embrace.
*On a sidenote, however will we be abbreviating 2010? You know how 2008 was '08 and 1985 was '85? What's 2010 going to be? Find out and let me know, k? Thanks.
