In January, shenry graced me with these words:
I believe that everything in this world, from philosophy to physics to our personal lives, seeks equilibrium. Eventually, things will level off, but it's an iterative process of peaks and valleys (damn, Robynn is wise). Hopefully, as we evolve the valleys become shallower and the peaks taper until we are left with a steady state of contentment... at least that's my hope. I'd be perfectly satisfied with homogenized contentment.
Then I posted that belief = peace blog... and the idea of belief has been what sticks. But it's belief in myself. It's getting interested in me, in my own interests, in things that make me feel good--whether it's organizing my stamp collection, rifling through old poetry, browsing spring clothes in the mall (I LOVE SPRING!), taking photos of my most favourite girl in the world, giving myself a mental makeover, deciding to start toning up these flabby parts, blogging more frequently--just digging out time here and there for me. Even if the kitchen goes uncleaned for a day.
I'm at a point in my life (now that we've booked the tickets to fly overseas in August) where I've been given a chance to start over with myself. I really feel that, I believe that. Our trip is going to be a big thing--I'm going to make it ours. A trip where we have time to relax, fall in love with each other even more, explore new places... it's going to be great.

You quoted me? I'm tickled... but as a general rule, it's probably not a good idea to quote me. I mean, citing me as a source is as reliable as citing The Onion.
It's always nice to have new beginning. Simple things like redesigning your blog, or buying new clothes, or starting a new journal can be a new beginning. And then there's always the big things like getting married, or having a kid, or graduating high school, or moving to a new house/condo, or... or... going on vacation.
