Can you believe it's almost the end of 2008? I can't. It seems as though this year flew by much faster than any previous year. A friend of mine told me that the number 8 represents change and so far, that has proven to be true.
2008 brought about quite a few changes for me, as it may have done for lots of other people. I changed careers, welcomed 2 new nephews, cut my long hair to donate to those less fortunate, met new people who have made a positive impact on my life, saw Janet Jackson in concert, and much more.
Why stop with the number 8 as a positive number for change? I believe the number 9 can bring about positive things as well. For one, I will finish my master's degree in 2009 and that alone will be a HUGE positive goal/change for me. Rather than make New Year's resolutions (who sticks to those past February?), I plan on taking the same approach I took January 1, 2008 and set goals for myself for 2009. I think the word goal itself allows us to really strive to reach those goals, rather than brush them off as just a "resolution" that no one sticks to for a long period of time.
As 2008 comes to an end and we welcome 2009 with lots of positive thoughts and goals, I wish you all a very happy and safe holiday season!
