A New Day: The Genesis Part 2

1/4/09 was my first blog post on this page - titled the same. New Years seems to bring that out in us. The need, want to start anew - to accomplish our old/new goals, to make promises to ourselves and our loved ones, and to just be better. I started this blog as a New Year resolution two years ago, to write and create more. Just like most resolutions, I have not blogged once a week just as I wanted to, but it has given me the opportunity to create and achieve - two things that mean a lot to me. While another day, another year passes, and the world changes constantly, my desire for creation and achievement still stand tall.

The Bible teaches us that the Genesis is the beginning, yet it can also mean starting new (just ask Sega and its 16-bit video game monster). Starting new doesn't have to mean a self'awakening, but just the realization that we are on a grand journey, and every day, every year allows us to start new with new choices, and experiences to enjoy. My path has taken me on a journey that I am proud of. I have been loved, and have loved. I have achieved, and strived for more. I have had fun, yet kept my feet on the ground. While my experiences have taken me to various wonderful places, I continue to have new beginnings.

On this January 1st, 2010, I continue to want to create and achieve. I am excited to be married and prepared to be starting our family. I am excited for where my career choices will take me. I am excited for all of the new games I will complete this year. I am excited for the new experiences, new laughes, and most importantly, new time I will spend with my family and friends. While I know that not all of the resolutions that I create will stand the test of time, I also know that each day that I make it to will bring me a new chance to start anew.
