"If you ever doubt the power of language, listen more closely. Witness the magic the first time someone whispers "i love you." Watch a woman put on head phones, close her eyes, and have her life changed by a lyric. See a bad moment flipped upside down by a well timed joke. Words propel us, empower us, make us human and more than human. We constantly struggle to say what we mean and mean what we say. To "wrestle with words and meanings." that's what t.s. eliot calls it. But as we whisper and shout, stutter and spin, we create order out of the chaos around us. We are built of words, and we live by them, too."

Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right

So, I haven't posted anything in a while but I thought since it's the last day of 2011, why not post a short one?

I'm not so big on New Year's because I think it is overrated. Regardless, I still get excited to dress up, go out, and spend way too much money. To be honest, one of the best NYE that I've had was just staying at home with a few people that I care about.

This year I'm not making any resolutions that I know that I can't/won't keep. A lot has changed for me in the past year and I have grown and learned a lot from these changes. I am just happy to be healthy and in a happy place right now. I hope everyone has a safe and fun night!

"An excellent New Year's resolution to make this year -- one that will serve you well emotionally for your entire life -- is to not let others bring you down. 

You know the type: they complain about anything and everything, and have a knack for telling you exactly what's wrong with you and your life.

People who exude negative energy such as this are a major risk for your own well-being. If you’re not careful, their pessimism can begin to rub off on you, or make you doubt your instincts or path in life. 

At the most basic level, you can stop a negative person from bringing you down simply by not being around them. As soon as they start droning on about the bad things in life, just leave. Of course, this isn’t always an option, particularly if the negative person is someone you work with, live with or must see often, so you need to have a backup plan -- one that will work every time, no matter what.

Positive people should make it a point to stay positive, and it is their right to stay that way."
