A New...

What an amazing year it has been. I have learned a lot, grown a lot, and seen a lot.

My favorite 2010 Memories:

- Watching magnificent lightening fill the sky at the lake.
- Fitting 9 people into a random car when we couldn't find a taxi.
- Watching a Santorini Sunset
- Cliff jumping in Ios
- celebrating four years with the love of my life in Estes Park
- Staying in bed-in the living room- all day beating Mario Kart
- Moving into a bigger place
- Appreciating the most beautiful fall I have ever seen
- Everyday I spent with my family
- Making many breakfasts with my boy
- Driving to Cali for the weekend with my brother
- Breaking my nose!
- Watching the best Rockies game ever with my favorite people

Things I'm proud of in 2010:
- Setting a number of books to read-and doing it
- Finishing a horrible semester with all A's
- going to another country by myself
-going to the gym more
- Getting eye surgery
-

Now I'm not going to make new years resolutions because I don't want to join to rest of the world in giving up after two weeks but I will make dreams and goals for this upcoming year:

- Travel to two countries
- Read 26 books
- keep getting good grades
-take dance
- learn an instrument well
- take a road trip
- do something that makes me uncomfortable
- write a book
- Work on my spirituality
- Smile everyday
- finish all my scrapbooks
- Stop being angry-forgive, forget, figure out, understand, move on
- Cook more meals

I have been trying to make the switch from always trying to better the world to just focusing on bettering myself. I always wanted to help people, but it's tearing me apart. This year I am just going to remove negative people from my life altogether. I am going to make the most of this year, the most of this life. I'm learning everyday just how many things are out of my control, but there are many things that are, and I will always make the best out of the pieces the universe gives me.

So 2010, it has been a pleasure. Hello, 2011, please teach me, challenge me, support me, and show me all of the beauty this world has to offer.

"I am a child of the universe, no less than the trees or the stars, I have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to me, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should."
