I want 2011 to be good, a new start of sorts, a new beginning in a pleasant attitude. Let it be just that. I want to honor those that I love, I want to be a better person and I want to grow leaps and bounds above my own indiscretions of the past.
It was good to sit today and watch my friend of many years son play soccer. The day was beautiful and I learned how complicated families can be. I think that I often take the act of family socialization for granted. I come from a very small family and my extended family is almost non-existent. I watched my friend today play a ever so delicate shell and ball game when it came to the people around her today. I was proud of her integrity and that she made choices that benefited herself and others. Pure selflessness at its finest. Lesson noted on my end. I need to be more considerate of those around me, no matter my social awkwardness.
Yes, today I am thankful for the pressing sunburn that seems to be getting worse by the moment because it reminds me that sitting in the sun among a good friend is worth it all.
