Two hours in...

I'm sitting here thinking over what I want to wish everyone for this new year and new decade.  Real new year's wishes.  Things that I'd love to see happen.  Here's my list, something that my fingers blurted out on a Facebook status a few minutes ago:


Real New Year's wishes (or hopes):


I hope that everyone discovers something great about themselves this year.

I hope that each person who reads this can gain a new appreciation for the people that surround them.

I hope everyone who's feeling any pain, emotional or physical, has good days when it goes away on its own.

I hope that the wind in the leaves and the birds in the skies remind you that there are still wonderful things that happen every day, even if we don't see them.

I hope all of us learn to open up a little more.

I hope the world finds a little bit of peace it can hold on to.

I hope we all learn to live the best we can.

I hope you remember that even if you don't feel it sometimes, there is someone out there who loves you. You may not know who, may not even realize it, but they're there. Remember that.

I hope that a sliver more of happiness finds its way into your heart and never leaves any of you.

I hope for the best, for all of us.


Happy New Year, for real this time.
