Just to throw my own scrap in the pile of sentimental New Years recollections...
Honestly, I'm not the type to take New Years as a holiday all that seriously (sorry, Japan), since I tend to think of my life in terms of phases rather than years. But I figure I can stand being a little less pretentious for a few minutes, and think about what did happen to me in 2007.

I started this year in a rut. I'm not sure if it showed in my posts, but I was very unfulfilled with my life and myself, and it manifested in ways that I can only see now that I'm better. I was an all-in-all unhappy person, but thankfully for me, 2007 wasn't an all-in-all unhappy year.

Since around last summer I've changed in seemingly little ways that made a significant difference in my overall self. I've learned to be a little more open about myself, a little more daring, a little more considerate of others. I've grown more confidence in areas I didn't realize I was lacking in, and I run away a little less when things in my life go wrong or unplanned.

Lord knows I still have my problems, but hopefully I'm getting better at correcting the ones that need to be fixed and accepting the ones that don't.

Although I don't show it often enough, I really am grateful for every kind word that was said to me this past year, both offline and on. I'm grateful for all the people I've met and the people from years past who I've managed to cling onto. And I'm grateful that I found five beautiful souls whose dedication, infectious enthusiasm, and "love life" attitudes served as one of my main inspirations in making all these changes.

Happy New Year, everyone, and make it a good one. :)
