Usually the new year would warrant a celebration... But I haven't actually celebrated any occasion for over 3 years. But its not that I've been lying around depressed. It just seems to me that these are days worth noting, (as in note) and just spending with close family and friends. Maybe its time to look back on how this year has changed me.

Daryl, you've toned down
Its true... I accept the fact. Things that used to attract me don't seem so fun anymore. I'm not the wild experimenter I used to be. Although there are other not so good desires that have become stronger but I can't seem to bring myself to fulfill them. People tell me its because I've passed a phase. The point in life where a youth can be rebellious and rude. But I know, it is because my spirit doesn't allow me to.

Its been a fun year. Based on the photographs in my computer and the posts in my blog, I know I've been so blessed...

    Sow an act, and you reap a habit
    Sow a habit, and you reap character
    Sow character, and you reap destiny
