New Beginnings

Its only right that this should titled that. We all hope for new beginnings at the New Year. I so want that too. I hoping for good things to come, although some will be harder to grab into and other easier.
One thing is for sure, I am making this easier for me this year. I starting weight watchers with dad. It will be easier with a support system. Also I staying focus thru the fog. I will finish and have BSHD even if I have to go crazy for the rest of this year to do it. Third relationships! I am going to keep track of my friends this coming year. I feel like I haven't done my best job of balancing college and relationships between myself and those I love most. While I am working on this my own relationship with other people will be broaden; I will date and be happy. The leaves work, I love the kids, hate some of grown ups. Its a challenge that I most face in everyday life, yes life sucks eggs once in awhile. But thru the dust there is light. I can barely see it now, but I feel like this year I will be holding into the light for me and others around me to see.
Ok enough of that! Moving on. I knitted this beautiful sweaters for my youngest 2nd cousins. I hope they will enjoy them in the New Year. Luv SHARLA xoxo

2010 a year that I slowly won't forget. It started with me recovering from surgery. Then drifted into my pursuit to return to college. With my dream half realize, my hands and eyes tired from studying or writing, and bigger dreams to come. Makes me realize that I can do it. I won't say this year has been easy because, yes I thought about quitting but I keep thinking of what I want and how to achieve that! The only way is to continue and believe in myself. I have one more year to completing this part of my vision quest. In a way my realization isn't any different than Jonathan T. in the book called "A tribe Apart". Where he goes to the wilderness. For he its a rite of passage. Something that he must do as a Native American. The only differnce my vision came back to me at the hospital four days versus hiking into solitude for four day. Like Jonathan my vision made me realize what was important, not to take those around me for granted. Jon did not like when his mother offered him two loaves of bread, she know that he needed to fast, but he compromised and took one loaf. As he sat one day and made a meal and realize how bad it was, he took his loaf a bread and ate some, he realize how foolish he was and then thought about how he has been acting around his mother lately, especially when it came to discussing college.
