I can start my day over as many times as I want

Happy New Year one and all! 2008 seems perilously close to 2010, which seems very...twenty-first century-ish. When did the future get here, and why don't I feel more prepared?

My first conscious thoughts upon waking this morning were not positive or constructive ones, and were immediately followed by sadness that I should begin a brand new year on a negative note. When I'm done blogging, I may go back to bed and start over.

I opened a brand new agenda this morning, and each week in it is headed by a motivational quote. Here's the first one:

Go over, go under, go around or go through. But never give up.

Should have been my theme song for the last year perhaps, so maybe I'll start singing it a little more often. 2007, mostly, was nothing that I imagined it would be. That's not to say it was bad - but it was definitely a year of growth and learning, which is always a challenge. And any year -any day - in which you learn and grow deserves the label of successful.

Here's to 2008 - as soon as I've had a few more hours of sleep!

Honey, I think I'll take that for my theme this year :) I give up way too often. Granted, I try again, but I shouldn't give up to begin with.

(((HUGS))) and Happy New Year!
