2013 is gonna be AWESOME!

At the turn of each year, I always have a gazillion things to be grateful for: the opportunities I did not let pass (and those I did. it's from them I learn such valuable lessons), the people I came to know, the places I visited (especially those I've seen for the first time), the trials and ordeals I had to face (the easier ones, but more importantly, those that almost had down on my knees from which I was able to move past), the never ending love-hate relationship with food and the gym (LOL!), my not so extravagant but most cherished and priceless moments with people that I love (family and dear friends), my perilous yet enchanting journey towards the peak of my dreams, and lastly, the things I did right (lucky me) and those I did wrong (from which I picked up a lot of great learnings).

I guess that's what life is all about anyways, fulls of thrills and shrills, ups and downs, fear and excitement, happiness and sadness all rolled into this already colorful canvas and when you look at the end result, it's a stunning thing of beauty, a work of art. You wouldn't want it any way different. It's perfect, just the way it is, along with its imperfections. I always emerge stronger, happier, wiser and more jovial. The years may add numbers to our age, but each year I only feel younger and more ready to face new challenges, ready to discover things I never knew, places I've never been to and stuff I've never done.

Needless to say, I cannot be more excited.  Come on 2013, show me what you got!!! Bring it on!!!

No matter what happens, 2013 is gonna be AWESOME!!!!
