Change the World

You know, I want to change the world. I know that is idealistic. And I don't want to end world hunger or make there be no more poor or anything - I know that's impossible. I don't want to cure cancer. I don't even want to find a way for world peace (that too is impossible). But I want to make a difference. You know how you hear people say, "When you're not here, you really are missed"? I want that to be true of me. I want to be the one who makes a difference every where I am - who mkaes thing better, somehow. Who listens with her heart, who smiles constantly, who cries with someone sad or hurt. I want to be wanted. I mean, who doesn't want these things? I don't want to be popular, but I want to make a differencec everywhere I am. Somehow, in some slight way, I want to "start a chain reaction," as Rachael Scott said. Be it with a smile, a word, a hug, whatever. I just want to do.

Resolutions...

The New Year. I've never been a big "New Year's Resolution-er," because I tend to have goals I create throughout the year. And actually, my goals always tend to be the same. Smile more. Comeplain less. Get in shape.Enjoy every day. Seek out what needs to be done and do it. Be respectful. These are my goals for my life, really. There's a Rascal Flatts song that says, "My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to. May your dreams stay big, you're worries stay small. You never need to carry more than you can hold. And while you're out there getting where you're getting too I hope you know somebody loves you and wants the same things too." That is my reoslution. To dream - never let a bad day get me down - and not worry. To relax - not take on too much. To get where I'm going and know that there is someone who loves me and desires for me everything I want for myself and more. Happy New Years.
