2007 - A new year is underway. This is the time when we look back over the past year, view our mistakes, our triumphs, our successes, our losses. And then, armed with one more year of knowledge we forge ahead with a new set of resolutions, or an old set of resolutions with new resolve to accomplish them.
2006 was a wonderful, horrible, laughing, crying kind of a year. After all, there are 365 days in a year – how on earth could I describe all of those days with just one emotion.
So many things happened in 2006 from fights to weddings and so much more. The emotional roller coaster ran rampant, and yes, at times Ms. Bridezilla reared her head!
And now, after looking back over the moments that made up this past year of my life, I can look forward with resolve - resolve to:
- Run the Baltimore Half-Marathon, not to lose weight, not to live a healthier lifestyle, but simply because I want to add this feat to my list of life accomplishments, to know that I can do whatever I put my mind to and to prepare me for 2008 when I run the complete Baltimore Marathon! And mostly to enjoy the view along the trail!
- Live a healthier lifestyle which will help result in losing the excess pounds, but more importantly in toning my body, and in helping me to center my mind, body, and soul.
- Spend time with my family and friends. This is really the biggest priority. After ending a year in which my husband was diagnosed with Diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol; my father collapsed twice from diabetic shock (including on top of me at my own wedding reception); and my brother most recently being diagnosed with Stage 3 Lymphoma - I have learned over and over again that life is precious and we should never take any of it or the people in it for granted!
So for 2007, may we all stand by our resolutions, may we help others along the way, may we leave this world a little bit better at the end of the year than how we found it right now, and mostly, may we have the strength to know when to fight and when to lean on others!
