A New Day Has Come

Happy New Year! I know I'm a bit late..but I figured it was better late than never :D Although I'm not one who believes in making new year resolutions and sticking by them, I realized that the last year seemed like it had flown by a little too fast for my liking.

It's been a good year, as are most of them. A year of making new beginnings, carrying on with the old, picking up from where we left off...you get the picture.

Coming to a new place made me realize that I seem to have taken a lot of things for granted; family, friends. When these things are in short supply around you, you tend to look back and reminisce about what you once had. Then it eventually dawns on you that there's no point in living in the past, that there's nothing like the present. Each day will bring new challenges, more and more assignments to turn in. But I'm determined this year to have a little more 'me' time. When I can just kick off my shoes and truly enjoy the company of people around me. I want to meet more people, make new friends, see new places. I don't want to look back at the two years I've spent in Philly and regret that I didn't take advantage of so many things that it has to offer! I don't have any false hopes. I know I'm going to take baby steps initially and then slow down when there's too much work to do but I have to start somewhere. I might get hurt from time to time but like the saying goes - 'What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger'.

Here we go! Wish me luck :P
