Solitude

I'm taking a night for myself. My own night. My last night of 2007.

This past weekend exploded on me. At least the year will go out with a bang, and hopefully not sizzle. I feel like I've grown even more, and through growing some thing s have become more and more clear to me. First and foremost being this: I really only have one method of coping when the going gets tough, and that's to block everything and everyone out and handle it myself. That's not getting me anywhere.

I'll try and come up with a list of resolutions for this year that I think I might be able to keep. I just found last year's list:

Lucky 2007. Fresh starts. Clean slates. Let's go!

Learn to tap-dance
Exercise daily
Read a non-school book a month
Make genuine smiling a regular habit of every day
Eat less sugary food
Take more chances
Get a group together to volunteer at next year's Project Cheer
Write a short story OR draw a short comic just for fun. (Displaying it to others is optional.)
Knit a sweater!
Stop focusing so intensely on appearances/don't become too wrapped up in vanity
Re-learn how to do a cartwheel
Pray/read my bible more regularly
Don't let fear control me
Become better at cooking
Volunteer at a soup kitchen
Be more thankful for everything I have and everyone I have!


I didn't fulfill them all... But I did try harder at some. But I still don't know how to do a cartwheel! I think I'll go get on that now, among other things.
