New Years Revolution: Goals for 2013


Dear Friends,

Well as I wake up on the first day of the new year, I felt this wave of fear hit me hard. I realized that it is 2013 not 2012. When it is a new year, usually I would be happy to make it through a calendar year. However, it is getting harder to enjoy the blessings of a new year. I said before that this is going to be a year of restructuring and settling debts. I am trying to settle my emotions but the new year is going to be interesting for me. Aside from what I just mentioned, I also feel like it is time to finally deal with my son and his mother. My son will be six years old this year and he does not know I exist. With that said, I guess I will talk about my other dreams and plans for 2013.

One thing that I was blessed with in 2012 is working past September. I was blessed to see something that I have not experienced since 2006. I got to see another World Series run by the Detroit Tigers. I am still not use to seeing large crowds because when I started there, it was dead. I hope this is the year that I get to see another championship run and also the blessings from that.

This year will mark my 35th birthday. Unlike my 34th birthday, I will actually celebrate it. Last year was ok but you want to do better for the next year. I guess I am learning to celebrate my birth more because life is too short. For the last five years, my birthday wish is to have my son while I work. I know that is a pipe dream but it is better than nothing at all.

Finally, I guess this year is going to be the year I get off my ass and do something worthy in my life. I use to volunteer and do something aside from work. I want to be a role model and do stuff with kids. I just want to do something that no one could do for me: teach kids how to live. I guess that will be easier said than done.

Basically, I just want to do more in my life. I see things differently because I want more in my life. I might not get to be rich or famous but known and respect does feel good. It is time to get things right because tomorrow is not guaranteed. There will be more to come.
