Hello, 2013...

There's something about this time of the year.  I feel as if I can start all over.  New beginnings.  New goals.  Another chance.

A year ago, I made a New Year's resolution.  I resolved to never be grumpy. ever.  It was more like a choice to be joyful.  It was a battle... I failed many times.  But that New Year's resolution made a difference in my life. It changed my outlook, my perspective, my mood... my whole demeanor really.  I have been blessed beyond description because of that choice.  Times when all I wanted to do was sulk, when I wanted to scream and walk away, I reminded myself again and again that I must choose joy and find a reason to be joyful.

It's the first day of 2013.  As I look forward to a whole new year stretched out before me, I wonder what will happen, how my life will change, what God will teach me, what new friends I will make, what disappointments I will face, how people will influence me, and what new things I will experience.  Maybe this is the last year of my life. the last day of my life. Only God knows... and He is teaching me to trust Him with everything.
