I’d prefer to not make resolutions.  They seem pointless.  Resolutions are like rules, only meant to be broken.  I don’t think I’ve ever made a New Years resolution.  Never have I felt enough pressure being ushered into the New Year to make me want to change my present circumstances in any extreme way.  Granted, I have never been one of those on again off again dieters nor have I ever been a chain smoker in need of some serious bond breaking.  I, for the most part, have been content with celebrating the oncoming year and being optimistic at the emerging opportunities. 

2009 proved to be a year of healing.  It was a year of discovering, learning, laughing and loving the opportunities and people that were around me.  I had my own place for the first time.  I learned what it was to love.  I also learned what it meant to let go.  I had adventures with the one I love to Montreal.  We ate smoked meat sandwiches and poutine in a 300 year old building surrounded by cobble stone streets and French speaking tongues.  I stood for my friend and watched her walk down the aisle and prayed that the experiences that I have had would not be shared.  I found a love for pictures and have made it my mission to document my life in photos.  I walked hand in hand down the streets of the Byward Market soaking in the sights, sounds and smells.  I went to the Lion King Broadway play with him and my family and it was an experience I will surely cherish for a lifetime.  We went to Capital Ex and had fun on rides and watching a concert.  I surrendered to my love for youth and wholeheartedly love serving them with everything that I have.  I got to see Mercy Me live and it was amazing.  I had to stand for truth and testify of the experience that I was faced with, one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, let alone relive, in my entire life. 

It is in that light where I have complied a list of adventures that I would like take and have in 2010.  Some things are simple, others are dreams, but either way they all seem easily attainable and worth aiming for.
