Fun as they are and as much as I would love to make one, there will be no list of resolutions for the new year this time around for HomeGirl. It would just make me feel like a failure by the year's end. 2009 has been a good year, as are most. As usual, I have enjoyed the awesome times and endured the not-so-awesome times. I have learned a lot about myself as time and life reveal more of who I am to me. Some of these revelations are awesome and a couple are disturbing and surprising, but it's all me. I will not even try to make a list or suppose I have any inkling of what the next year will bring, because some of the things 2009 brought my way? I would not have imagined...ever. One thing I can say I will do in 2010 is try to do better in general. I can definitely try.
See you guys back here in the new year!
I'm looking forward to 2010 honestly. There's nothing in my periphery that has given me any indicator of greatness, but I'm going in optimistic and ready. Happy (early) New Year!
