I don't know what this year will hold. I can't even begin to anticipate the coming year. But I know that God will be provident throughout it. And I know that even if things get crappy I have people around me who will support and love me.
What about you? How was your 2009? What are you looking forward to in 2010?
Harry: What does this song mean? For my whole life I don't know what this song means. I mean, 'Should old acquaintance be forgot". Does that mean we should forget old acquaintances or does it mean if we happen to forget them we should remember them, which is not possible because we already forgot them!?
Sally: Well may be it just means that we should remember that we forgot them or something. Anyway it's about old friends.
Happy New Year's, friends!!

2009 was hardcore rocky, and as much as it hurt, I think I'm better off. If not, I'm going to convince myself while I've still got the mindset to do it. ;)
2010 hopes? Just get a better grasp of who I am rather than who I settled on being. Everything else just seems pretty moot right now.
