HAPPY 2011

Alright, well it's 11:15 (whoops, I missed my chance to make a wish), I have work tomorrow at 9;30, and I'm not the least bit tired.  AND, I haven't really acknowledged the whole "New Year" thing yet, so here goes...

Now I'm not a huge fan of New Year's "Resolutions" (because who really follows them?) but I did take the opportunity to reflect on last year and maybe even set a few goals. 2010 was absolutely the my most challenging year yet; it was rewarding and then horrible and then awesome and then awful...etc.  Annnnnnyway, 2011 didn't start off wonderfully, but things are looking up.  I'm really happy to be dancing again, and for this year I'm trying to be more optimistic (if that's possible XD).  I've also decided to take more chances.  It's occurred to me that I miss out on many possible opportunities because of totally irrational fears, sooooo I've decided to just stop being so generally afraid.  What's the worst that could happen?

Ultimately, not much has changed since last year (I mean, really, it's only been a few days), but I'm definitely taking more chances. And I feel better.  Let's just hope this year is better than the last one (and that I don't get into too much trouble) XD
