What do you think it will be like? Personally I'm really excited about the coming year!
New years are great as they are a time for fresh starts and new beginnings. I know it's arbitary but it makes me feel all positive, like a blank canvas just waiting for me to fill it with interesting images!
Go 2010! :)
But hey let me know if you are also not looking forward to the coming year okay! ;)

I honestly hope the New Year brings better things for myself as far as work and things taking off in the direction I want them too. I definitely need some luck on my side because I haven't had any in recent years. I'm hoping to find a job, lose some weight, go back to school at some point even if it's only part time, pay my debt since I'm majorly in the hole and get my blog and graphics website to take off some more and make some really decent money.
I hope some of the things I want happen, all I can do is think positive and hope they do happen. I sure hope it's a good year and better than this year since this year has been pretty bad for me.

Great to hear from you and thanks so much for sharing with us!
Yes 2010 can be the year you change everything in your life, and thinking positive can really help!
Look at what you are saying here however:
"I'm hoping to do these thing..."
"I hope that some of the things I want happen, all I can do is think positive and hope they do happen."
I hope you will understand me when I explain, but what you have said doesn't actually sound all that positive. It is filled with a kind of doubt. Like hope is all you have to make these things happen, or that they might not happen. That's not actually as positive as you could be. Yeah it's a whole lot better than saying everything has been bad for me the last few years and it's just going to be the same old same old. I'm just unlucky etc.
You can do better than this.
You can change your life!!!
Here is a good way to start. Instead of writing to us saying you hope these things are going to happen. Instead say, "I just know I am going to change my life for the better in 2010". 2010 is going to be the start of a big upswing in my life! Next year my blog and graphics websites are really going to take off like a rocket! I'm going to make a load of money! I'm not just going to get a job, I'm going to get a fantastic job and be great at it!
Maybe you can think of some more things and post them back here. It doesn't matter how over the top or silly the things you say are. Just say them and feel excited about them. Get some great upbeat music and play it and dance to it while thinking about all the good things that are going to happen to you. Dance away and maybe even make up new lyrics to the songs. Sort of your own kareoke. The new lyrics can be all about the wonderful things you are going to do in your life!
A couple of years back I was not in good condition at all, quite the opposite. I had nearly not made it out of 2007 and had survived entirely by abusing chocolate and magical thinking.
There was not logical way out of my situation.
At the time I was doing a degree. By this point I was failing it really, really badly. I wasn't even getting a third in the assesments and I was worried I would work really hard and end up getting only a third, but little by little things started to change. Towards the end I was going around saying I was going to get a first. Everyone knew is was completely ridiculous because till that point I hadn't even been making it to a third. I was doing VERY badly. I remember going to a barbeque and someone said I was in the final year of my degree, and someone asked how I was doing. I said to them I'm going to get a FIRST and laughed and danced a little. They were like, WOW congratulations! I was like thankyou, It's going to be so amazing! Then my friend interupted and was like "no you don't understand, she doesn't get the results for days yet!", I guess he was trying to stop things before things got out of hand and turned into a full on celebration at his BBQ! It was very funny. I had a great time.
Of course in then end I didn't get a first. I just missed it by a few marks. I got a 2:1. Had a great time with my pretend first tho, and I'm obviously not complaining about the 2:1 !!! It was an amazing and incredible turnaround.

Ya I expect a lot from the year 2010. I even expect a lot from myself in this year. So that I can overcome all the things I have gone past in the previous year.
I hope everybody has a good time in this year. Let us all forget about the past and get on with this year.
