As 2009 quickly approaches, I have found myself back in Europe- with my week in the states as a distant memory. Now is the time for new beginnings, new doors, and a bit of reflection now that I finally have the time.
And as for my resolutions, seeing as though it would be careless not to make any, this is what I have come up with...
Study harder, write more, spend less, appreciate the things I have, take better care of the ones I love, live less selfishly, love less fully (as if I would ever be able to do so), wash the dishes more often, be happy with what I have, stop coveting the things I don't, brush my teeth more often, drink less coffee, make my bed, organize my notebooks (i.e. one per subject as opposed to 1 per 3), buy a rug, sleep more, study Gaudi, maintain my faraway friendships, cultivate the new ones, etc, etc...
But when it really comes down to it, as I said to my friend today while seated in one of the pews in Barcelona's Cathedral-
"I only hope that I do 2009 as well as I did 2008."
And what a great year it has been...
