I’m having so much trouble starting out with my first post of 2007. I didn’t do much to wish the world farewell, so I won’t try to do that now. There’s just been so much that has happened in the past year that it’s hard to sum everything up in one blow. So many good things to be thankful for, and the not so good things that make all the positives stand out that much more.
This February, I will have been married for the first year to Rebecca. You have no idea as to the hoops, ladders, and hurdles that we have faced to get this far, and the path ahead, short and long term, are far from easy. Nothing in life ever is, no matter who or where you are. But it’s when you take time to go for a walk in the park, like we did yesterday, that makes everything seem as easy as happily ever after. Reminds me that we have to wash our pants from yesterday to get all that mud out of our clothes as well.
I have a strong disliking for resolutions. More so, it’s a personal thing, but I understand that a new year brings that urge to many folks. A time for change and promises in the hopes of bettering your lives for the future.
For me, this is possible anytime of the year. If there is something that you want to do, you just start doing it. 2006 has been the year that has prevented me from doing so many things that I want to achieve in life. The fault lies hugely on the Canadian government, but this is the path that we’ve chosen to take. The waiting is killing me.
2007 will be the year that this is going to change. This isn’t because I’m going to try harder or finally get off my ass to do something with my life. I’m primed and ready to the opportunity, have been since I landed at YVR in 2005. The powers that be just have to give me that green light. Then finally, I can get back to making those plans to rule the world. Well, the world might be pushing it, but it’d just be nice to have the ability to visit my family back in the states again. It’s been over a year since I last saw some of them, far longer for others.
So there you go. The first post of 2007. A relapse to what this blog used to be. More on the personal side, and perhaps I should try to do more of this in the future. As this whole waiting process has gone along, we’ll have to wait and see. I’m just ready to break out.
