I'm sitting here thinking about the new year.
Finally, just me, myself and I. It's a good feeling.
For the first time this year, I'm pondering the woman, mother, sister, daughter and friend I want to become this year. I'm wanting more than just the normal things I jot down every January.
For some reason this year I'm haunted with different things I've given up on. Not given it my all. Quit trying. Thought I wasn't smart enough. Fallen short of. Hurdles to jump. Mountains to climb. More fears to face. I'm anxious (a good one), nervous, apprehensive, but ready for the new year and all the goals I've set for myself.
Finally, at 38, yes, I just turned 38, I'm learning that I can overcome and achieve some of these things. I can be better. I can do better. It's never too late. I don't have to settle.

As much as I'd rather just drive up the mountain, I'm ready to climb. I'll just picture the view and what it must look like from the top of the mountain, as I'm on my way up! And then when I reach the top, you'll know. Trust me! One switchback at a time.
I won't let the "hauntings" run my thoughts. I'm going to remain happy, content and grateful for the chance to even climb!
Happy New Year! Good luck with all your new goals for 2010.

38 is a very good year. Enjoy! I will cheer you on in your climb. I think you're already up there in the rarified air so watch out. You might need oxygen soon!
