Another year gone, another year come...with mixed feelings.

It did seem like 05 was going to last forever, but as that is impossible, I'm accepting the new year as a fact of life.

But as I dwell on it more I realize how important it is for me, not to be neutral. I have a lot to work towards this new year, a promise to keep, goals to reach, and things to experience. I can't meet it undecided and without motivation. 

I'm just happy right now, that I was able to start off 06 by receiving Holy Communion.

Aims for 2006, the Year of Our Lord:

1) Become more devout and as close to Christ and His Mother as possible.  

2) Become, all in all, a better person. More understanding and patient, and above all no procrastination.

3) Do better in school and get a high score on the CAT exam.

4) Learn, and learn well, what my music teacher has to teach and make a lot of progress.

5) Go ice skating at least once a month.

6) Write a ton of good quality short stories and poems, get working on a book.

7) Re-read LOTR and finish the Sil (it's been long enough, for heaven's sake!)

Looks rather overwhelming, I must admit. I hope St. Thomas Aquinas is listening, because I'm going to need some help down here.

We spent the night with the L's. It was wonderful, since they are basically family to us, we've known them for so long. My late Christmas present from them was C.S. Lewis' "Space Trilogy" - all three of the books. I have read only the first two, but the last one was rather hard reading for me at the time. Now I'll have a chance to read them all over again! =D =D!

Weird Moiranian factoid: I become really nervous when I get in bed and my violin is in another room....rather stupid, but no, I can't go to sleep without my violin in the same room - preferably right next to my bed.

Well I'm off to Mass. I shall offer up my Communion for each one of your intentions for this new and ....yes, blessed new year.

Oh, and in celebration, I will change my avatar.
