Happy New Year!

It is hard to believe that another year has passed. 2009 is officially happening after midnight tonight. WOW! The new year is always a time for resolutions. The typical ones atleast are dieting, quitting smoking, a new job.... hmmm. Of course I want to do the diet thing, but one thing that is on my mind mostly is to reconnect with my extended family. Hopeless, maybe. But I am optimistic that walls can be torn down and a newfound love and respect for all will occur. After my mom died I feel that we all fell apart from each other. Why? Was it because she was the one who kept us together? I do not know. But I do know that I miss my family!! And I NEED my family. So how do I get these feelings back? I will have to ponder that a little more. But tomorrow is the beginning of a new year, so who knows what will happen!
