A New Year

The ball, dropped in Time Square in New York City, is suspended there to remind us before we pop the champagne, or sparkling cider and celebrate the new year, to stop and reflect on the year that has gone by. To remember both our triumphs and our missteps, our promises made and broken. The times we opened ourselves up to great adventures or closed ourselves down for fear of getting hurt cause that is what New Years is all about- getting another chance. A chance to forgive, to do better, to do more, to give more, to love more. And stop worrying about what if and start embracing what would be. So when that ball drops at midnight, let's remember to be nice to each other, kind to each other. And not just this one night, but all year long.

I think that this just about sums it up. We are about to enter a new year. The year of 2012. It's a new start. We have had a whole year to do some amazing things. This past year has been one of my biggest. I graduated from high school, went off to college, got a job, lived on my own. This past year for me was a year of first and a year of last. THIS, has been a big year. But your year and your life is only as big as you make it. As we enter into this new year, try and make this one bigger then the last. Make it a year that you will never forget. Don't focus and obsess so much on the little things, yet enjoy them while you can. Make resolutions that you can keep, and actually do them. Live a life full of love and happiness, with the people more important to you by your side. Let this year surprise you.

Happy New Years everyone! May this be a year that you never forget. ♥
