Happy new year to all readers. May the new year bring a lot of good things, and fullfillment of long held dreams.

In this new year, I have decided to spend more time going to church, hanging out with church friends, and to find a band. I have been looking for a band for a long time but never actually searched. I have been in looking mode.

In this new year, I would also like to take more chances to be adventurous and to have more fun. Too often we let work and other small things take so much of our time that we don’t get to appreciate the present. We don’t get to sit down and relax for a moment. We don’t really get to take a deep breath and thank God for all the great things around us. Many of us live in the future. We think when this happens or when that happens, then I’ll do the next step. Or then I’ll really enjoy. But we’re not guaranteed tomorrow. This, the present, is all we have. So I thank God for it. And I pray this new year will be a great year of blessings.
