New year, new beginnings

To tell you the truth I have never been a huge fan of New Years. It always seemed like a way for people to make fake promises to themselves. I was never one for resolutions or anything like that. In fact most years I don't even "celebrate" New years. This year has been different for me. It is going to be a year of big changes for me and I am so excited to have this "holiday" as a "reason" for the change. Not that I planned it this way, it just happens to be january. Yes, I do know that it already the 16th. I feel really good and positive about where my life is right now. I have a sense of peace about where I am and where I want to go. After losing so much weight last year I feel happier and healthier, as well as feeling lighter...and not just in actual weight but in the weight on my heart. I tend to be a pretty emotional girl even though I seem tough to many on the outside. But my heart feels happy to have this glimpse of the life I want for myself. I am motivated to make some positive changes in the way I am living this life. More to come...Simplicity...thats the goal for this year...2008, the best year yet.

My dear girl.... so many things are running through my head right now... First..I love the new look of your blog! Fresh! Clean! Light! You are moving from one phase of your life story into the next chapter and it's going to be one of your best! You look fantastic! (uh...I don't call you 'cutie bug' for no reason, you know!) I think you have such a wise, clear vision of your life right now...and it will only serve you well to pursue it. Congrats on all of the hard work you've done on yourself... it's not easy to do and you've done it very, very well. Thank you for letting me be a passenger in this ride of your life! I'm loving the view!!
