Wow, it certainly has been a while since I have posted. I'm not sure if anybody still reads this, but if someone does, sorry I haven't posted in a ling time! Things sure get busy, especially with school and the recent holiday season. Anyways, happy new year!
A new year seems to be the prime time for looking at ways to improve! New year's resolutions are extremely common, and usually involve things such as weight loss and increasing one's success. I'd like to share with you my goal, which, by the way, isn't one of those I just previously mentioned. My goal is to be more positive, and through being positive, drawing closer to God.
I just recently lost a friend to cancer, which has been very tough for the whole community. A somber feeling seems to follow me and my friends wherever we go. It has been extremely difficult for me personally to find the positive things in life.
Through these sad times, I have learned just how important it is to have a positive outlook on any and every situation. Sadness is certainly an important emotion, for, without sadness one cannot know pure happiness. In all this sorrow that I have been surrounded with, the happy moments I have enjoyed have been all that much sweeter.
So, my goal is to find a bright light in all of the darkness I encounter. I will let everyone know how it goes, and will update you on personal experiences I have had involving my goal.
My goal of being positive goes hand in hand with my other goal, which is drawing closer to God. He is the light; He is hope, and I know that through Him I can find happiness in all of my trials.
So, this is my introduction of myself for this new year, and I'm looking forward to picking up blogging again! So, I hope everybody is having a wonderful day, and I can't wait to see what this year holds! :) ~Sky
