I am always glad when this time of year has come and gone. The absolute loss of meaning and psuedo appreciation of family and the exchanging of gifts (like you don't really have to give someone one). However, the ending of this season brings about the New Year. As has been my goal for the past three years, I will once again make 2009 the best year ever. Every year my life has been increasingly better (however that word is defined). I only wish that those closest to me would feel the same. I have made a commitment to myself that everywhere I go that I will try to leave it better than how I found it. While I will not accept the burden of the responsibility of how it got a certain way nor debate the fact that my way is better than some, I only know this that people are generally unhappy and I am not. So if I can do something or say something or teach something that can help a person, I will. I realized a couple of years ago the only value in life is your interaction with others, so this is where i can make a difference. People give to me everyday by allowing me to watch their lives and learn. I can give back.
2009 is a year of growth of unexpected satisfaction and continued happiness. Hope everyone finds what they are looking for.
