This year was supposed to be a new beginning. A time to leave the past behind, live in the present and be hopeful for the future. I expected to accomplish so much this year and unfortunately I’ve been failing miserably. I wanted 2008 to be the year that I become my best self and live the life of my dreams, but with almost half the year over I’m still nowhere near achieving that. I don’t want to continue simply existing. I really want to start thriving. I hate letting negativity get the best of me, but that’s only part of my problem. I know laziness and procrastination also contribute to it. I only have myself to blame. There’s a bright side to all of this though. 2008 isn’t over yet so I still have a chance to get back on track to achieving my goals.Go Although I’m disappointed about my lack of progress thus far, I’m not discouraged enough to just give up. I believe that striving for betterment in myself is something I must never stop trying to do. I owe it to myself and my loved ones to reach my full potential, whatever that may be and however long it takes.

I thought it was time to breakaway from the monotony of my daily life and start something new, so welcome to my latest blogging endeavor. I had put this off for four months, but I actually got my act together and decided to get this done at last. I’ve been in a writing funk for quite awhile and therefore lost interest in maintaining a blog. Although it’s taken me awhile to get motivated, I’m glad that I kept pushing myself to reach this destination. I missed having an online journal to voice my opinions and share my thoughts. I know my blogging track record isn’t exactly consistent, but I’ll do my best to keep this updated on a regular basis. I don’t have much to say right now. I simply wanted to start my new blog before I ended up procrastinating about it again.
