With the coming of a new year I once again begin the casual thinking of making a new years resolution. I really never take them all that seriously and last year I don't think I ever truly settled on a single one though 2012 was a big year for changes. I see the typical ones those I know have posted to facebook: health, exercise, eating right, traveling, loving, and new this year....blogging. I have at least three friends resolving to blog. I guess I am one of those people too, though I started my blogging resurgence back in the early fall. I thought maybe blogging could be mine too and yes in a way it has but I have more important goals than that. Blogging will just be the progress bar of the growth I've made through this year. What I really desire to accomplish this year is growth. To learn more about myself and the world and ultimately become the wife, future mother, friend Christian,, sister, teacher. . . woman I am supposed to be. Not some magical "This is my year" kind of lifetime channel movie. Just life. Whatever that means.
I read today from two very different womens new years blogs. Very different besides the fact that they are both mothers who are blessed with the chance to stay home with their 3 children, I couldn't help but think how we all are lost in our own lives while someone literally right next to us is lost in theirs. I've thought about this as long as I can remember: what does it feel like to be someone else and how in the world did my consciousness become my consciousness? It's such a circle of thought I am not even sure if anyone else can ever understand what I am trying to say here. But today as I read a friends writing about her experience and herself in college, the same college I attended and even used photos I myself had taken of a mountain range that both her and I have seen, how monumental ones own consciousness, their soul, truly is and just how monumental and precious every single life truly is.
