will you feel better, better, bet-her

Hello 2010. It is nice to finally meet you.
I must apologize for our rocky beginning, but it turns out that you and I will be much better friends then could be determined from a few hours. Really, those actions were all 2009's fault, so, you and me, we should be in the clear.

I really want this year, and all its newness. I really, very much want it, and all that it and its newness can bring. The final moments, the last four months of 2009 sparked me for 2010. There really is hope beyond the mundaneness, the incessant and constant talk of, about, for, rather than the doing.

This year, this 2010, I want to be all about doing. In 2009 I was constantly in my head, with long stretches of incessant, rambling thought about the what ifs and the whys and the onlys. Great ideas were lost in the enveloping thinking. I can't bear for the same thing to happen this year. Because, it won't. I cannot and will not allow it.

This year I will reach as far and wide as my wishing will take me, without stopping to complain, or to whine and cry and bitch and moan. I will take the year by stride and better myself for the years to come. This is the year to make greatness happen. I can feel it. This is the year that will define who I can be.

This year, I will be better than last year. In everything.
