For a New Year has Come

So it has come. 2009. The new year.

It certainly is something to look forward to. And it's not a year change like ones I've seen in the past. Where I will say that this new year will be a good one. This time I already know it will be good. I just can't wait to see how good and what exciting things continue to happen.

It's the last year of this decade. A decade which has encompassed my entire growing up from teenager to adult. Needless to say that there have been some great years and some pretty lousy ones. But I think we can take 2008 and revel in how great it was all around. If there was any indication that we are doing well, it's that year. It shows me how I'm on the right path and I just need to keep going.

We set out to do the things we wanted to do this year and much more. We can feel proud in the accomplishment of our summer tour. We set out early on in 08 with the desire to go to HK, Florida, and New York throughout the summer. And we successfully did go to all of them. Resulting in a blissful summer. So I know I'm not crazy when I tell someone I can do anything.

We can take what we learned this year and continue building upon it. We can already see great seeds planted in 08 now ready to soon blossom in 09. And even if they don't, we at least know that sometimes the greatest things aren't planned and come and go into your life when and in the form you least expect it. So if what we foresee is already great, imagine what we're not.

Maybe the biggest task is to leave unfinished roads in the last pages of December. Maybe the obvious is for that to be done. But simply forgetting and ignoring all that has happened will never create a resolution. Those roads aren't finished for a reason. And have something at the end.

That is my new years inspirational speech. Happy New Year to all. May it surpass all others. And if you're as much of a fan of 2008 as I was, stay tuned. You won't believe what I've got in store for 2009.
