Happy New Year

This is going to be the year that I believe in myself. The year that I don't cave in to what others expect of me, but listen to my own voice and know that I can handle things on my own. I have this way of looking up to authority figures for everything instead of finding it inside myself. I'm always seeking that one piece of advice that is going to transform my life, and I've finally found it. It just happens to not be from outside, and it feels so real and right. However I got here, even if it took a major catastrophe and surgery, and all this moving across the country, this is something that will follow me all my years. I feel it so strong now. I just have to look in the mirror when I forget. I'm ready for a 2008 that comes with this shift. It is already a happy new year at the Alice household. I hope yours shapes up to be the same!
