New Year, New Start

I'm hoping that this new year will bring a lot of really great things for me. That sounds bad, but I don't mean it in a self-centered way. I'm not a big "new year resolution-er", but this year I'm going to try to be more dedicated to the things that make me happy and make me feel good (friendships, family, going to church, etc.). Honestly, I think doing this things will help me to feel more confident in every thing I do and every decision I make. Something has just clicked in me lately and I've realized more than ever that the key to living a happy life is making every aspect of your life positive. I've been thinking a lot lately about all the great things that I take for granted that many other people don't have. Even little things like a warm house to come home to and food on the table, a stable job that I love and find incredibly interesting, friends and family that love me unconditionally. That sounds totally corny, but it's hard to explain any other way. I'm going to rise above the negativity and find an even better me.
