The last few years i've been traditionally dreading the inevitable day of birth with the usual "i don't want to get older" comments.....this year though, feels different. I can't quite explain it except to say that after the year i've had, i truly believe ANYTHING is possible. I was discussing optimism with a friend the other day and it got me thinking; am I really optimistic or do I just believe that if i ask for what i want enough times it will happen? Or is there a difference? Maybe that's exactly what optimism is. I looked it up....The definition is :

op·ti·mism/ˈäptəˌmizəm/

Noun:

Hopefulness and confidence about the future or the successful outcome of something     It's been an amazing year of starts and stops, tears and laughter, joy and pain. I am a year older and while I hope to remain eternally youthful on the outside, I've realized that it's what's inside my brain and heart that are going to propel me forward in the years to come. This year will be my best yet.     PLAN34: Make money, lots of it Highest placing fall season Buy a house  Change someone's life Save someone's life Win WGI DCI or both :) Make new friends Learn spanish Fall in love   Here's to wishing for the best year yet, knowing it will happen and enjoying it when it does
