Today starts a new year and as a new year, I want a new way of living. All the horrible things that have happened in '06, I will leave them there. From this day forth, I promise to live all my days with peace, hope, faith, love, and tranquility. And to all those who oppose this desire will be severed from my life. There are a few selected people who are my angels here on earth. You are my pilars that hold me up and keep me strong...Thank you. You guys mean everything to me. I might not have shown it...maybe I didn't call often enough, maybe I wasn't there when you needed me, but that is all gonna change. When you need me, call out to me and I'll be there. I promise to call or at least leave an entry one a week...to ensure that I'll keep up with you. My life is changing fast and I don't want it to go on by without me or my friends. So in order to keep up with change, I too am changing. Hopefully for the best. Heather, you are my first true friend...If you did not come up to me that day at orentation, who knows what kind of crowd I would have fell in to or what kind of person I would have become through those four years of hell and high school. Thank you for being apart of my life when I needed someone like you the most. I LOVE YOU ! Courtney, you are my second best friend. You have been in my shadows, secretly forming me into a caring woman. You who I wanted to shield from the hoorors of life but couldn't, you who I always felt I had to protect...but instead...you protected me. You kept me humble and aware. If you hadn't kept beside me, maybe I would have become a horrible bitch, insensitive to other people's feelings. Thank you very much for staying when you could have easily left. I Love You ! Sethy, although we didn't talk often, our conversations always helped me. When I needed guidance, your words of wisdom pulled me through. When I needed to laugh, you always came out of you shell to put a smile on my face...even when it was out of character for you. I consider you a good friend to me because you are one of the people who came into my life and helped to shape me into a better person. Thank you...I Love You ! Kanisha, you have been my guardian angel. You have brought faith back to me. Watching how you have risen out of the despair in your life, I know that it can be done. You have given me the strength to reach beyond the stars and actually dare..not dream...to be a better person. Thank you for being so loving , so caring, so you. You are the big sister everyone needs in their life. Thank you for being mine. I Love You Girl! Dora, baby girl, you are special. You keep me smiling even when I don't feel like it. You are a beautiful person blessed with the beautiful gift...and I love you both. I know that God has brought you both in my life for a reason. I promise to be there when I am needed. Keep me young..don't let me grow cynial and old too fast okay? I Love You ! Joshua, You are my life and I know that without you...life would seem boring and dull. You make my life worth living and changing for the better. Because of you, I know what I want out of life and what I need to achieve that perfection and happiness. I can't wait to share another year of my life with you. I Love You with all my heart. Thank you for being apart of my life. To my many friends and family and extended family...You all mean alot to me and I only wish that life could be simple for everyone but life can sometimes be unfair. Keep your head's up and aspire for the best. Keep reaching out for a better day because you all deserve it. You are all beautiful and I thank God everyday that you are part of my life. With Love, ~ Renee Angelina ~Happy New Years's To You All!~
