New Year. Day 1

It is time to start a new year, and a new decade! This year is going to be a big year, for me there will be lots of changes, Ill finally be done with school (again) and headed out in the "real world" (again). I am excited, and scared and for some reason feel inspired to share all this with the world. What does this year mean for you, anything going to change? Are you perfectly content where you are and don't want things to change? 2010 can mean a variety of things to a lot of people, I think the challenge is figuring out what it means to you!

I have decided to start this blog with a mission, a challenge of sorts. I took on the task last November to post on the ever popular social networking site Facebook things I was thankful for each day leading up to Thanksgiving. At times I thought it was fun, but more often than not I struggled to find things I was thankful for. I have been thinking that this shouldn't have really been that great of a challenge, why couldn't I see what I was thankful for in my life? So, my challenge to myself is to write, each and every day what I am thankful for for an entire year! Perhaps like Oprah's gratitude book, or other journaling techniques, I believe that by putting goodness out into the world, goodness will come to you; seeing the good in your life good will come into your life, like attracts like. And so, in this important year in my life, and the world over all, I challenge myself to find greatness, happiness, and gratitude in the year. Where do you find gratitude in your life? Find it, and cherish it no mater how hard you have to search to find it.

A minor disclaimer, I know that there may be days when I wont be able to post. I'm not going to stress myself out to make a post by midnight for each day. I am only human! But a note of thanks and gratitude will be made for each and every day this year. Some days will be good, some will not, but each day deserves recognition. Putting this out there into the world, we will see what happens with this year!
