Wow! Where has all the time gone? This morning I'm looking back on 2009, and it has flown by. We've watched our banks collapse, and our government bail them out. We've watched the housing market crumble, and friends and family have lost their homes. We've seen Congress attempt to pump life into a social health care program, and watched it divide a nation. We've seen the auto industry grind to a halt, so it is safe to say that 2009 has been a depressing year for the American society.

I think many of us have had a hard time keeping a positive attitude this past year. I know that the mid part of last year I saw my own morale hit lows, the uncertainty making me moody and impatient. I was waiting for something positive to happen. So, I woke up and decided that I would be my own positive force for change in 2010. It's that time of the year when we say, "out with the old and in with the new," so when the calendar clicks over to a new year, people generally start thinking about improvement.

So, to start this year off right most people create what is called a New Year Resolution. I actually had three this year. The first being to become a better me. Spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally. It is not good to hold onto the past, so forgive and always remember that no one is perfect. Second, find a job that will enhance my knowledge in the business field. Being that I'm a graduating senior and the job market is still in turmoil finding a job in the business field will be kind of difficult, so I've started seeking employment now! Finally, my last resolution is to find love. HELLO...what girl doesn't fantasize about finding her future soul mate. Happy New Year everyone and if you can...stick with your new year resolutions!
