Another year...

Another year...another set of resolutions to let fall by the wayside.

But no. That's not entirely true. I am trying to improve myself and follow through with everything I set down in paper...'cause that's one of my resolutions. To keep up with my journal entries - and hopefully also my blog entries. I signed up on Facebook too, so we can add that to the list of things I have to remember to update!

Life is busy, but I want to make the effort of documenting it. So that I cant forget.

My first act in this little resolution was to go out and purchase a new journal. For the one currently tucked away in my drawer is nearly 2 years old. It contains a lot of tears within its pages, the heartbreak expressed in messy scrawl. The result of crying so hard you can barely write straight.

For the moment I want these sad words shut away in a box. Only to be viewed again when I want to read them, and not sitting there reminding me every time I open the journal. Daring me to look back at who I once was.

I'm not afraid of them so much as ready to move on, that person who cried herself to sleep every night surfaces only very rarely now. She's faced her demons, accepted them and defeated them.
She only exists now in the pages of that tattered little journal.

So a fresh new journal for 2008 and my new life. Bound in a beautiful deep blue and teal patterned material....
