***********************
With the New Year literally days away, I have been doing lots of thinking about this little word. It is amazing how it can really shape ones life. We set New Years resolutions, that tend to be broken with in a month. We seek resolution to problems in our lives. We want the best resolution for our computers. I could go on and on about resolution, but I am sure you do not really want to hear that babble.
In all this thinking I have resolved to let the past go (again) and look to the future. Things are not as bad as you first think. I am resolving to think before reacting - oh how that had hurt me in the past. With these things in mind, I am gaining resolution to the last year. I am turning the page and closing that chapter in my life. It is what I had been seeking all along, but a few paragraphs kept holding me back. They were fuzzy and hard to read, some of the words were completely missing. But with looking forward, I was able to fill in those spots - granted they may not be written the way it was originally intended, but it is close enough that I can move on in this book of life.

MJ,
I feel badly that things are STILL messed up in my Blogger Dashboard. I unfollowed you and then re-followed and you still don't come up right. I don't know how to fix it.
Anyway, I have likewise been thinking a lot about resolutions. There are a lot of things I need to let go of and leave behind as well. But it's so very hard. I often think maybe I should be blogging anonymously, because there's so much more I could talk about and get off my chest....oh well.
Good for you! I hope 2010 is an awesome year for you!!
