A New Year, A New Me
I have always loved celebrating the New Year with its promise of fresh beginnings and change. This year I had the good fortune to ring in 2009 with my special someone (M.) in Cuzco, Peru. This charming city is the gateway to the magical place of Machu Pichu, which is where we had spent most of New Year's Eve day. In my next blog entries I will detail the unforgettable adventure that took place there.
Every year I have vowed to complete my resolutions and every year I have failed. However, my tenacious personality does not allow me to give up, so each year I try again in hopes of succeeding. For 2008 I came up with 3 resolutions: 1) travel to at least 2 new countries, 2) take less subways and walk more, 3) read Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s “One Hundred Years of Solitude” in the original language of Spanish (the said book was purchased on my trip to Cuba in 2007). As the clock approached midnight on the 31st I joyfully realized that I had indeed accomplished all of my resolutions this year! I then thought long and hard about which resolution I would make for 2009 and the thing I felt that I would most like to accomplish was to create a blog and thus My Beautiful Adventures was started! I cannot wait to see where this new journey will lead me.
While most adventures have trying moments, in the end each of them are simply beautiful. Adventures enrich our lives and teach us about our true selves, since they are an undertaking usually involving unknown risks and challenges that lead to unforgettable experiences. My life is filled with one beautiful adventure after another and I believe that blogging is the best way for me to account for them and to share them with others.
So, I excitingly unveil my blog! I hope you enjoy it and may 2009 be filled with beautiful adventures for everyone throughout the world!
