Simply me and my thought for the day

"Women wish to be loved without a why or a wherefore; not because they are pretty, or good, or well-bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves." -- Henri Frederic Amiel

New year

This year, i will diligently try to not let things go bad in the refrigerator.

this year, i will make an effort to actually keep the clothes in my dresser folded and the stuff in my closet on the hangers.

this year, i will read the whole bible and enjoy every second of it

this year, i will stop biting my nails (for reals this time.)

this year, i will try other kinds of sushi besides california rolls and shrimp tempura. (i tried a scallop roll 2 nights ago! and it was pretty good.)

this year, i will plan and prepare my lessons for church before sunday morning.

this year, i will cherish every moment i have with my friends

this year, i will improve my handwriting (especially my cursive) by writing and sending more handwritten notes.

this year, i will work work on always signal before i change lanes on the freeway.

this year, i will get up and out of bed the first time the alarm clock goes off.

what little goals will you accomplish this year?

Cheers to a new year, my friends. It'll be great.

"Fear not for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by name, you are mine.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;

when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,

and the flames shall not consume you.

For I am the Lord your God,

the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you,

I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life.

Fear not, for I am with you."

Isaiah 43:1-5
