a mirror of me.

Ahhh. Breathe in the fresh new air of 2009. (Happy New Years by the way.) A new slate is set before us so that the mistakes of the past year will be mended. However, some of those mistakes still are out to get us. This year is going to be spectacular. No, I don't know what will happen-but already things are starting to shape up. I look back on the year that even so shortly ended and see a pool full of elegant reflections. 12 beautiful months that, without even knowing it, changed me, shaped me, and turned me into who I am now. Unfortunately, contrary to my perfection like agitations, I am far from perfect. One thing these new days have brought already would be more time with God. My sister and I are reading A Purpose Driven Life for the first time. And the other night I found some new inspiration in the book of Ester.

I am addicted to my guitar. Just ask my mum. I basically refuse to do anything but play. I am particularly inspired after one of our family friends came over on New Years Eve to celebrate and asked me if I wanted to play. She has been playing, (self taught), for 9 years. She showed me some new musical rhythms and chords. It was encouraging since I haven't played that long myself. I have found a great little website that offers hundreds of tabs, (or chord sheets), and that has helped me get a head start.

I would like to say that my dreaded stress fracture is basically healed. I ran 2 miles today, but because it was on snow I can't say it would have hurt as much as running on a basketball court or track. Two days ago I started running again. My legs aren't hurting, but admittedly, other muscles are sore. ;)
