Thoughts For The Coming New Year

December 31, 2008

Before I even begin to look forward to 2009, let me just say that 2008 has been the best year of my life so far. My  childhood dream of having enough (love, material wealth, health & other simple blessings) has officially commenced and come into fruition. Although, looking back into my early and late 20’s, this has more or less  been the tune I’ve been singing and I am so very thankful for that. The past year has just solidified everything I ever wanted (venturing into new things and exploring the option of becoming a housewife and a mother ). It has also paved the way for me to look deeper into myself and realize what’s really important — my family.  It took a long while for me to realize this. I have been the type to run away from familial obligations and responsibilities brought about by some emotional ghosts in my past but I have begun the process of my personal healing, all thanks to my family who has always tried to understand me the best way they know how (Popsy, Peter, Mommy, Daddy, Aba&Chris, Mac&Smeerf) And of course, to my handsome baby nephew, DM, who has awakened this long overdue maternal instinct in me. I am not one to really like kids. But with DM, there’s a chance that I might just consider having one of my own in the near future. That’s a start, right? Let’s just wait and see…

 

Anyway, as we approach the coming new year, I’d like to ask if there is any one word you’d like to hold on to as your anchor? Mine would be DETERMINATION. This means… 1. firmness of purpose and 2. a fixed intention or resolution. And I’m not just talking about quitting my vices and being real.  I’m talking about this deep desire in me to make new dreams and make them all come true. My old childhood dreams have already been given to me (you know, things of vanity like nice high paying job, money in the bank, house&lot, car, personal travels, lotsa friends, a busy social schedule, lotsa expensive toys, clothes, shoes, etc.). Now, I want stuff that matter more. So this coming year, I will be trimming down my life to the basics… recognize what is  real and important to me and my family and be able to honor that. I won’t go into details yet  (or maybe I won’t ever… don’t wanna jinx it.). All I know is that they will be fruitful and they may be all I ever really wanted, for real.

 

Cheers to 2009! Happy New Year, everyone!
