another new year upon us

This is my first entry for 2007. Looking forward to an interesting and exciting year. Haven't made any resolutions, as I don't know really know any. I think I just make self-resolutions and try to not "name" them new resolutions. I do want to do a few things and I do want to continue to do yoga, and be organised with my time. I was reading that if one says they are too busy to fit things in, it is just because they are lazy with their use of time. So if I can help it, I want to try and not say I am too busy to do things and send parcels and letters on time, pay bills on time, meet my friends on time, small things like that for starters I think. Also try and embrace Japan life a bit more creatively and get into what I enjoyed when I first came here, looking out at flea markets, antique markets and the like. Apart from that, I just want to live in the moment and enjoy what the day brings and accept what it brings. Try to be flexible with different opinions and comments and try not to be too hard on myself or others too for that matter. Stick up for myself where I should, and believe in myself. Don't take things too seriously if they aren't worth it and try not to dwell on matters that aren't worth it (people too for that matter). Most of all, just enjoy what embraces you every day, every moment and remember to smile to even the cleaner. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have a clean office, clean halls or even sidewalks to appreicate. Appreciate all that there is in life and live to the fullest.

The thing always happens that you really believe in;
and the belief in a thing makes it happen.
