New Year, New Beginnings?

As the days count down to what is left of what we call 2011, I remember the saying, new year starts new beginnings. In reality, I sit here on the couch watching reruns signing “ugh” and thinking of all the school responsibilities we have to get back too once this break is over. For us, break isn’t always the right amount or never long enough for each of us, leaving me to think that I really don’t want to go back and face the little stresses in our lives that can seem so small but just sometimes to be the biggest pain in each of our asses. I know that everyone is experiencing that gut feeling and saying “I don’t wanna go back!” but in reality if we like it or not we will. I guess that brings me back to my first thought, is it really a year of new beginnings? Or rather just the continuation of what happened the pervious year? But this is where my heart splits in two. I know that like many of us, there’s times where we want to go run away and hide or even curl up in a ball and let things out but at the same time we can’t. Were going to have to step in and deal with each our own personal responsibilities.

I also realized that it all has to do with our outlooks. Maybe right now, most of us want to run away but I know once each of us has the strengths to stand and become optimistic in their own ways to help take on each task. In the end, the little things that bothered us or stressed us out, happens to be not that bad most of the time. I guess it makes me realized like 2011, things weren’t that bad, maybe some a pain in my ass, but it was worth dealing with and overcoming. So that leaves me wanting to take on 2012 because 2011 was sure hell of a lot of fun!

2011 was quite the learning experience and I know I wasn’t in the same spot as I was last year. It’s life, and life goes on. People enter our lives and some unfortunately might leave. What I’ve learned is that things happen for a reason and they sure do! Lesson after lesson I’ve discovered this past year and each of them has made me into the strong woman I am today. I don’t love some of the experiences, like hard-aches and failures that made me learn some lessons of mine. It did make me grow in maturity and change my outlooks on life for the better. 2011 was such a fun year and made everlasting friendships, people entering back into my life, met nice people at the most randomest of times, and most of all experienced the greatest adventures.

Thinking about it now I’m excited for the new year. I can’t wait to spend it with all my loved ones. I can’t wait to make new friends. Most of I can’t wait to experience new adventures. I know this year is going to be great! And curious to see what is set for me. So I’m actually excited and can now say “C’mon 2012 show me what your made of, because I’m not afraid to take you on!”

I know most of you feel thee exact same way! For now sit back and enjoy watching t.v. and all your reruns and destroying your diets with all the great holiday foods because it is only once a year where you can celebrate two great holidays a week apart from each other with your loved ones. Until then, see you all NEXT YEAR!!!! Cheers to that! ;)
