For me, there has always been something magical about new beginnings. I love a fresh start, a new chapter in the book of life! Perhaps after moving around so much, I look at a fresh start as a new adventure, a chance to experience something novel, something varied and interesting. Or perhaps, it is my brokenness that cries out for renewal and a second chance to make the right decisions instead of the wrong ones.
And as usual, a New Year calls for New Year resolutions! Most people view these resolutions as impractical and a waste of time but I love them! In fact, it has become a new year tradition for me. I believe that the mere process of formulating new year resolutions have great value. These resolutions help me be specific and condense my thoughts. And this year, I want to be focused. I want to be very intentional about the decisions that I make. So here’s to 2016, a Year of Focus.
