My Hopes for 2009

I hesitate to make New Year's Resolutions, or even, I'm ashamed to say, commitments. The perfectionist that I am doesn't want to make a promise I can't keep. But I have been thinking about changes I want to make--more of who I am than what I do. What do I want in 2009? I want to live life more fully, not holding myself back because of fear or appearances. I want to get on the train, as the conductor says in "Polar Express." I want to pour myself out for others, get to know them and get involved in their lives, instead of focusing on me and mine.

And I want to go to Mozambiqe and Idaho. :)
