Dear Void,

I know this may be a little premature to New Years, but I have been doing some thinking...I know, dangerous right!  So I know I mentioned earlier about making some new goals to broaden my life, but I want to go a little further with that.  I feel like I am getting a little stagnant and that I'm not really challenging myself enough.  I get up, go to work, and come home in time to visit with my roommates as a small attempt to be social before I crash for the day.  But I want to be doing something  more.  So, as of now I have decided to turn this blog into a space to throw my thoughts. I want to throw around my thoughts about new things that I learn and experience, ideas I may have, or opinions.  It's going to be a journal that I will have to live up to and one that comments back to me.  Yes, I will still blog my fun happenings, but I feel I have much to say and want to have a place to say it.  2008 was a good year, but one of too many hospital visits and one of trying to figure myself out, which is always needed. But I feel I have been a little sloth-like and I have been too complacent. So 2009 will be one of bigger adventure, more learning and exploring, and discovering new talents.  I would like to send my thoughts and happenings out into the "void" because it actually reminds me of one of my favorite movies "You've Got Mail." When Kathleen Kelly is writing emails to NY152, she titles one of her emails "Dear Void" and sends her thoughts to him to vent and be heard, even though they are nothing monumental. Sometimes I feel like that too.  I have nothing major to say, but I want to say it and be heard. So I hope this new idea works! Wish me luck!
