Note to self:

• The friends and family that I have are wonderful individuals, and I'm truly blessed to have them in my life
• I'm entering 2012 with my eyes open and my heart and mind guarded, because life is full of surprises - good and bad
• Patience, integrity, rationality and passion are just a few of the key ingredients necessary to finding happiness. In my experience, good fortune genuinely does greet those who are willing wait. Maintaining a moral and ethical character will attract like-minded people into your life, and exercising rationality allows us to see reason and make better decisions in the long run.
