So I have to look back on this Christmas and think about how great this year has been for me.
Last year at this time, I was waiting anxiously to board a plane to England for one of the most incredible vacations of my life.
Now, I sit at home as it pours rain outside my house and spend the day cleaning my room, making room for the new presents of this year.
But the best blessing of this year has been the new experiences I have been able to be a part of.
I know it is hard after Christmas to be motivated and continue to look forward to things. Thanksgiving came, we were thankful for all we had. Christmas came, and we thought about so many possessions we wished to possess.
Christ came for us so that we might be reborn. It is fitting that this holiday falls before New Years. We have a chance to be reborn for ourselves. As another leaf turns in our calendar, we can look at what we need to change in our lives. Resolutions are our yearly reincarnations.
Therefore, among others, I am resolving to make better use of my time, give more of myself to organizations I have committed myself to (not necessarily in workload, but in passion), and to reinvest myself in my schoolwork and some friendships I have neglected. Also, for those of you that know me well, you know I can be untidy and often tardy, and those are two traits about myself I wish to change as well.
So, in this season of thanksgiving, rebirth, and personal reincarnation, we have so much to be thankful for, but so much more to reinvest in the year to come.
