I am grateful for a celebration of transformation.
This holiday inspires hope.
Hope for a better world, made by better individuals.
It is not the perfection of reaching our goals, but the journey of reaching for them that will shape our characters and move us closer to our potential.
"reach for the moon...even if you miss, you will land among the stars."
I am ready to become...to become the Kristen Leigh Metzger I know my Father in Heaven sees.
I am grateful for friends in my life who push me to make every day a new beginning. Even if they are Canadian. :)
"happy new year!" shall become a mentality. An attitude. A mantra for the day to day. The fruits of such a plan: spontaneity, laughter, new friends, constant and consistent goal setting, explosions of well-wishes to all around you, good food, and sparkling fruit juices of all varieties. And midnight kisses...as often as possible, of course.
Feel free to join me on my year of "happy new years." it will be a party to remember. A journey to write home about, often. An adventure that even Frodo would wonder at and feel honored to be a part of. A year of unknowns that will become discoveries and surprise lessons.
How many fortune cookies would it take to learn what this year truly holds?
How do we know what potential can be found within a certain span of time?
We dream. We desire. We pray for a vision of what we can accomplish. We dream bigger. We ask "what if?!" and then make a plan to turn it into "remember when?!"
I am ready to see miracles. To encourage miracles. To be an instrument in the hands of the Lord to bring about miracles.
2013. I will give my all. I will love deeper than ever before. I will dig deeper. I will dream bigger and fight harder and more specifically for those dreams. I will be patient. I will trust. I will expect the unexpected and know it will be what I need. I will see the world through the wide eyes of a child, and sustain the vision with the plans of an adult.
Bombs away!!
