Life.

Something I have always found comforting about life ...
something that you can always rely on.....

and that is no matter what happens 
good or bad...
at the end of the day...

it always goes on.

It's Coming.

I've been trying to think of something great to write....

Something bright

Something funny

Something slight

Something crummy

I can't think of the words that are right, but I promise...

It's coming. 

You may not see it with your eyes

It may come in disguise

Baked into some delicious lookin' pies

Shadowed with unbelievable lies

But no worries I will not compromise because I promise...

It's coming. 

Now or never

sometime soon

On your birthday

Or in the middle of June 

I don't know what and I can't tell you when...

I've told you now and I'll tell you then.

Now take a number and try to pretend

that someday, somehow

It's coming.

Change.

A little thing that is inevitable in life, but that I dislike dealing with whether it is in the form of change jingling in my pockets, having to change outfits, changing my oil, or a change in circumstance. It happens when you hardly expect it and when you least want it. Despite my animosity towards it, I cannot disregard one of change's best qualities and uses. 

That it always adds up. 

Whether it is a quarter, two nickels, 5 dimes, and twenty pennies...it can still add up to make a dollar. Something of worth. Something of value. Regardless of whether I enjoy the change or not, at the end of the day it still adds up and in the words of a 90's song:
"Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said, "Yep, what a concept I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change"

New Year. New Hope. New Beginning.

I love quotes. This video just made me smile today. Hope it will make you smile too. I love the clean slate that each new beginning presents to us if we choose to take it. 

Love,

Resolute Resolutions.

A ritual taught to us ever since elementary school: making personal goals and changes we desire for the new year. Well a new year has come, the year of twenty eleven 2011. Ergo it is time for that ritual once again, but I want this year to be different. I feel like every year I make the same resolutions and then they just fall through but not this year. NO! This year I am determined. This my year my resolutions are going to be resolute.

Resolute (adjective): admirably purposeful, determined, and unwavering

A few of my Resolute Resolutions for 2011:

1. Be 100% honest. No lies. Complete integrity.
2. Finish P90X
3. Climb 3 times a week
4. Run a Marathon (the Top of Utah...to be exact)
5. Find a Summer Job
6. No Soda even apple beer.... :(
7. Be more Christlike

That's just a few the list is long...but I am determined to do it and do my BEST. Give 177%. I want to change for the better. I need it. This year is my chance for a new me.
