The last day of 2009, a dreary day, but I had work to do so it doesn't matter much. The Twilight Zone marathon is on, which means I will spend every available chance watching it. 2009 was a rocky year in some ways, but I got through it and came out stronger, I hope, with mere scratches. I have learned more about times when it is appropriate to give up, and times to persevere. (To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven). I have seen how God can take a situation that looks like a complete disaster and work it for good, so it adjusts for something better in the future.
I wrote a couple entries back about the book Look Both Ways by Debbie Millman. I purchased it in Barnes and Noble yesterday (which is a big deal because I rarely buy books; I just read them in the store). It's that good. I proceeded to tell Debbie Millman through Twitter, and to my surprise, she actually responded! This is one of the best last moments of my 2009!
I need to still make my resolutions for 2010. I can't make them too difficult to achieve (it's usually something like "run every day" or "read the Bible every day", and I get through maybe 2 months of it and eventually quit, not because I want to give up, but time intercedes and I get caught up with school and other stuff that I put all my effort into (so much that it takes my sleep time too!).
I know whatever I spend my effort doing in this next year, this next decade, I always want to continue to pursue wisdom and truth. I want to live passionately, with a burning fuel that never gives up on the things that matter. I want to be genuine, and I want to be hard working.
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne...
