Change is in the air.
Earlier this week, Mr. Barack Obama became Mr. President. During his campaign, he used the slogan, "The change we need." That mantra, now that he has taken office, is the more concrete, "Change has come to America."
Political overhaul aside, we are just 23 days into the year 2009. As with the start of all new years, an aura of possibility surrounds thoughts of the 342 days to come. I made my resolutions, and have subsequently broken them all -- or so I think. I don't quite remember them.
I believe that this year will be one of great change for me. I believe that things are going to happen -- in part, because I'm not content to remain static in my current existence. I'll tell you one thing for sure: I'm ready for it. Or, I want it, and while I'm never really ready for it, I'm willing to embrace the fun and heartache of it for its own sake.
For Christmas, Madre bought me the DVD, "Becoming Jane." I love Jane Austen, and so she knew I'd appreciate it. Admittedly, it took me a couple of viewings to warm up to the film, but I think it will be one of my favorites in the long run. What I love best, though, is the title. It attests to the fact that we are not born one person and die the same. Our lives, and the events they contain, shape us and create us in a constant, ever-evolving process. I stole the title of the movie, made a swift edit, and pasted it here.
This lovely little blog will be my pet over the coming months. When I remember to update it, it will chronicle the happenings in my life, the changes being made, and the changes happening in spite of myself.
Stay tuned. :)
