Very warm weather in early January seems so wrong, but I hesitate to protest. Amid packing my life into boxes, I made the most of today's warm breezes because who can be sure how long the perfection will last? Seventy-degree weather will never receive complaint no matter what the season - I love it. In fact, the mutinous part of me can't help hoping that it might last into next week. Mwahaha. After all, it is much more conducive to early-morning scrambles than biting cold.
As mentioned, I have spent the past two days knee deep in twenty years worth of...stuff. It may not sound quite so daunting to individuals who have moved before (especially those who have moved multiple times), but it is all very new to me. I hardly know where to begin. I will find articles that were "lost" and promptly lose them again in the madness...hehe. Shuffling through old papers and keepsakes, I feel as if I am reliving each memory one by one. I am amazed, however, by the indifference I feel toward most of my once-cherished accumulations. It is as if everything I so greatly esteemed before has become relatively inconsequential. I guess it's just because things change at every major milestone. Not that my memories cease to mean anything...they just lose their grip. Even more fascinating (because it is currently inconceivable) is the knowledge that things which are now of such great importance will undoubtedly follow suit and eventually become just as trivial.
I am in such an unbelievably good mood! I have no particular reason to be, which makes it all the more thrilling. :)
On the fourth day of the New Year, I am finally pausing to reflect on 2004. Spring Semester was a blast...an absolute blast. It had some bleh points, but I am hard pressed to think of a time where I had more fun. I will NEVER forget the mad hullabaloo that ensued with Disney and lasted for a month and a half. Somehow, I'm waiting for the same whirlwind to occur again. Between the "nervous breakdown" and "screw everything" phases, everything seemed so CRAZY-HAPPY... The high-spirited delirium carried on into the first part of the summer. I started my LJ when I needed an outlet and work became boring (hehe), so most accounts from there on out are contained within past entries - no need to rehash. :) Anyone who still reads this thing was probably right in the middle anyway, sharing every happy, sad, giddy, hysterical moment - for that, I am truly thankful. I love all of my friends (new and old), and I can't wait to share 2005 with them! I have learned and grown more in the past twelve months than ever, so I will consider it a very blessed year. I am so thankful for everything I have been allowed to experience. "God is amazing."
Okay. Enough blather. My New Year's Resolutions are already under significant strain, causing me to remember that only 12% of all resolutions are actually kept. I am still striving to keep mine, but I had another thought. What would happen if we asked others to create resolutions for us? It could prove to be dangerous waters in the case of a brutally honest vs. sensitive individual, but I think it would be interesting to see the areas in which others feel we need work. Maybe? Hehe. I can't wait to see my M'ville people again! I miss you guys so much! Love always!

that resolution idea would kill me...especially since i dont do it anyways.
...have you left yet?.... those exact stars wont be back in that same position for another year!!
Hehe - yeah, I'm not saying I necessarily want to open myself up to that, but it might be interesting none-the-less.
I'm afraid I'm already behind on my trek. No stars. :(
