Don’t wish your life away…...
it might freeze like that!

Can I just tell you, that sums up a day in the life of Shayla Michelle Sizemore Burroughs, circa 2005? Oh it sooo does. This has been by far one of the suckiest years I have ever had. Only two other years out of 34 have been worse; 1987 when Daddy died, and 2001 when I moved to NC.

As long as I can remember I have longed for the future. I know that I know that I know that I know that I KNOW there is more to it than this. I always have, and I have always heard, “don’t wish your life away.” Well, it’s my life and I’ll wish it away if I want to. Thank you anyway. Wishing my life away is what fuels my drive; my drive to be more, see more, and do more…Shayla Sizemore. Tee hee!

Anyway, this year/year end had been long! Daggum it! Out with the old! Bring on the new. I will make the same resolution I make and break every year: to exercise. I will make a new one: learn to say, “No.” And I will carry on trying to find the fun in everything. Bloggin’ is fun. The FreeZone is fun. Girls’ Day Out is fun. Can I be a good Christian AND say that I am going to avoid the non-fun things in life? I CAN be a good Christian and say this…if it is within my power and God’s will, I will have as much fun as I possibly can regardless of the situation. And THAT is all I have to say about THAT.

Love y'all, Happy New Year!

I got the JOY, JOY, JOY, JOY down in my heart (where?) down in my heart...

Happy New Year, Shayla!

My wish for you - that the exuberance would never fade, that you would in this world and the next always be young - forever young.

May His wind carry you farther than you ever dreamed imaginable in 2006.
