as another comes, another goes...

Okay, so this is my first blog for 2009, and I have decided to look forward to what this year may have in store. I have also decided to look back on 2008, which was a crazy, tragic, amazing, historical year for myself as well as my loved ones. There have been marriages, divorces, babies were born, unlikely match ups, close encounters with death, people moving on with their lives, OBAMA, big moves, great friendships sparked, fake friendships failed, backs stabbed, bad decisions made, lessons learned, and it was all topped off with fireworks and a toast at midnight.
I personally have no regrets, I have learned a lot in '08, and hope to learn even more in 2009. I have become stronger, more insightful, I hope I have become a better muslim. I pray that anyone I hurt or harmed can forgive me, and I pray that I can forgive anyone who has done the same to me.
Now, only 4 days into the new year, I see that this is going to be a "colorful" year..lol. Definitely not gonna be a dull one I see that already. May seem a little dark at times (for now), but we are strong we can handle it. I have a decent support system, and the people that have me know I'm here through it all (as long as its halal, lol). If it isn't, we can push one another to get better!

I feel great knowing I have lived and loved through it all. I pray with every new year I become a better person insha allah.

Happy New Year!
