2009 is mine!

The new year is here, and I'm planning to enter it with a new sense of hopefulness and positivity. It's really easy sometimes to fall into feeling sorry for yourself and your circumstances. This year I plan to make a concerted effort to put a positive spin on everything -- yes, everything -- even the parts of my life I don't really adore at the moment. A few years ago Tim McGraw came out with a song inspired by his ailing father called "Live Life Like You're Dying." And, that's exactly what I plan to do this year. I want to bask in every second of life. Take new risks. Get out of my comfort zone.

What are your goals or resolutions for the new year?
