New Year, New Life???

it is a wonder why many of us deem to begin a sudden change in our lives when the year starter knocks. though we decide to hold on to few principles and credences, partly, we tend to let go of some emotions and opportunities. but, surpassing all these is our willingness for a partial transformation. as noticed, permutation begins in improving our physical appearance. the famous 'new image' justifies that fashion and looks boost our self esteem, so it is necessary to give extra attention to it especially for those working and socializing for a fresher, admirable look that will surely be noticeable by persons you haven't seen for a long days of vacation. this will also cover up the evidently 'holiday weight gain'. proof of this are individuals bumping to be the first to sit in a salon for a stylish haircut, eyebrow threadings, hair colorings, rebonding, facial treatment etc. varied tv shows that promote new fashion tips from the 'in style' clothes, shoes, make-ups and color association boom in welcoming the new year. it is also a tradition to make alist ao the well known 'new years resolution'. ahhhh.... reality! 365 days had passed without me even realizing it.

let me look back to the past year... have i accomplished things i'm determined to change in the previous year? not all i guess. what difficulties refrained me from achieving them? do i have any regrets and acrimony in any decisions i've made? whatever! the mere fact that i get through it and still manage to hold on and stand up only denotes that i have passed those trials that God has given me. though it wasn't a perfect year, i've not been a succesful perfect woman in the true sense of the word, in myself, i know that i've tried to be the best that i can be and that would be enough. 2004 was considered the year of benediction for me and my family. a big thanks to Gog and a prayer for His endless guidance, understanding and blessing for this new year. kabooooommm 2005!

You know you're in love when at those times you're not together, you find yourself gazing at the sky in the direction where he is and feeling some peace in knowing that you live under the same sky...
