Each year my siblings, cousin and I come up with a goal for the new year. It's not quite a resolution, but more of a reflection on how we think the upcoming year will be, or how we would like it to be. For me... 2011 will be a year of taking control of and enjoying my current situation. It's all about embracing the phrase: "Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery, Today is a Gift, That's why it's called the Present".

In fact, I remember when I used to do a lot more blogging (while living abroad, for example), that I really felt that typing the words was very therapeutic. Maybe it's because I have my new MacBook Pro, with the fast sounding 'clicks' of the keyboard, that just makes me want to write again.
