I'll Be Just Fine 2009

I'm sure "fine" and "09" will be paired together in more ways than we'd like for the next 300 days or so. But I thought I'd use it now before it gets... on our nerves. =p

Well truth is, I thought for a while about what I oughta write for my annual "Happy New Year" entry, but finally, I decided that heck, it's just another year.

As midnight hits and the new year begins, it seems as if everything lifts somehow. This year, I felt the air become crisper, the sky become farther.. and the world become so much bigger.

It's another year. I have absolutely no idea what is in store for me this time around. Though as I look back, I know I've experienced and learned a great deal of unexpected things in each passing year, so what's the use in planning or worrying about what's next? Whatever's gonna happen... is gonna happen.

All I have left to do is to be open to everything I will encounter. I'll try to try more. To be more excited. To get myself in scary situations. To get my heart racing... for any reason.

The important thing is, I know that whatever happens this year, I know I'll be just fine. And hopefully, by the next countdown, I will be more wise, more humble, more calm and more grateful.

I'm looking forward to it.
