Having already overcome an important milestone in my life before 2011’s end, I feel that the new year is going to be a wonderful opportunity to grow and discover things about myself that would have otherwise been undetected. While considering myself to be a run-of-the-mill-goodie-goodie-uptight-plain-Jane, that statement has recently been proven false. It’s only the second day, and I’ve discovered that my prudence has been most inconvenient to my happiness. The resolutions I made embodied simple mindedness and lack of concern, whereas the new resolutions (cliche as they may appear) are realistic goals that will contribute greatly to my happiness, which is something I hadn’t taken too much concern for until recently. So, the numerous resolutions summed up in one phrase…Keep calm and be happy.

May your days be numerous and your years be blessed.
