The One With The New Year.

It's taken me a good 2 days to figure out what to post for this new year's blogpost.

Bear with me.

It just occurred to me that, maybe, just maybe, if a little more thought was put into all our new year resolutions, they might just perhaps, last.

Alot of times, when we randomly shoot off resolutions the moment the clock strikes 12 on that blessed day, what is it actually that we are actually making plans for? A typical resolution will involve alcohol, work, love, drinking, exercise etc. All of which, are great in their own. But then again, these are all the same things that we've been pushing ourselves to do throughout the year. And new year's day is just another date in the calender with which to procrastinate it to.

Let's take it up a notch.
I find myself wondering, what actually do I want out of this year.

Greatness.

Dictionary.com defines greatness as

1.

unusually or comparatively large in size or dimensions: Agreat fire destroyed nearly half the city.

2.

large in number; numerous: Great hordes of tourists descendon Europe each summer.

3.

unusual or considerable in degree, power, intensity, etc.:great pain.

4.

wonderful; first-rate; very good: We had a great time. That'sgreat!

5.

being such in an extreme or notable degree: great friends; agreat talker.

Allow me to draw your attention to number 3.
Unusual or considerable in degree, power, intensity, etc.

Even as I will be travelling to India for my studies, I'm going with my eyes and my heart wide open. Hopefully, with the grace of God, this will be a great year.

It is a very general "resolution", but as cliched as it is, I'm still young and there is a whole world out there for me to explore. It's time to start living the "Who Says"  attitude in life.


And it all starts with Africa in January. Heh.


So there, the all too customary new year's post.


And so, allow me to wish all of you readers, a happy and blessed new year.
All 5 of you at least.

Jon.

You have done what you could — some blunders and absurdities have crept in. Forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
