New Year, New... what?

So, here we are, 2008. New year, new challenges. So many days, weeks and months ahead. So many things to do...

But what is actually changed? Has anything really truly altered yet? Every day something is different, I'm sure of that. This will be my 28th year, one of my oldest friends turned that already. Here I am, writing this blog once again, wishing, hoping, praying, affirming... And so much and yet so little is different.

Now, every year New Year's Eve fills hearts with hope. Will this year turn life around? This year will be a better one, right? I could nearly touch those dreams, hopes and wishes as I listened to one famous Finnish singer singing 4 songs in front of me.

I cannot deny; I wish that this year will be MY year. That special, magical year, which will turn few of my current dreams into reality. Time will, naturally, tell.

So far, 2008 has been filled with coughing, sneezing and 3 different kinds of pain (the one all women know, bit of shadowing and then this odd neck/back pain which I believe some call lumbago but I'm not 100 per cent sure), but also with determination to finish my big project finally and finding a job.

This world is a funny place at times. Sometimes the profound thoughts are born only when one faces utterly devastating physical pain. Sometimes those who wish to work, cannot, because they've been denied the opportunity, for whatever reason. Yes, life is funny and I'm sure that I'll be laughing until it hurts about it one of these days, ideally, later this year. But right now, I just have obstacles to conquor.

Kathy Copelin, a fellow member of ch.com put nicely her thoughts about faith, God and destiny:
"God always puts us exactly where we can do the best, so keep the faith". I simply love that line of hers. It summons it all perfectly. And yes, I believe that God has a plan, which includes us all, and we all are united in Him. I believe that I cannot truly compare myself to anyone but myself, because what I've been through, no one else has been through - seperate events, yes, but the whole life, no. Therefore all I need to do is to just trust my instincts, trust the plan, trust life and keep the faith - I will be lead into the place where I need to be, at each moment, and everything which happends is meant to be.

Although in some ways my life is filled with plenty of uncertanties, I do not recall a time in which I have been filled with such hope, determination, devotion and simply, faith, in myself and in my life. I'm more relaxed, because I trust. I'm where I'm supposed to be and I'll be where I'm meant to go. That's the way it is.

My dreams are my reality, my life is what I make of it and my life is beautiful. I'm living my best life, I'm living a life of prosperity, life filled with joy, happiness, a wonderful career, a loving and delightful love and family life, a life filled with dear close friends, a perfect health and exciting positive opportunities all around. I'm living my dreams, every single day.
