1. I would have to say that my guiding principle is not to be a burden for other people. I have friends who have problems and while I'm always there to take care of them and watch over them, it's not always the most enjoyable experience, especially when they won't listen to you and seek help for their problems. I see some of the things they do and instead of enticing me to do the same thing, I look at them and try not to be like that. I want people to want to be around me, risk free. I want to be a person that people come to and think of as a fun person and not a "Debbie".
2. Well at the moment I can't think of a news event that has happened in the past year that has changed me or has has an impact on my life. However, yesterday I went to the Mall of America, to see the cheer competition, and while I was there a man jumped from the parking ramp and died. It was the most surreal experience I've ever had. At first when I heard about it, I didn't believe it. But when my friends and I tried leaving, security was blocking the exit and they were telling people to "kep moving". Eventually we went up one level, where there was less security, and we were able to see the body. Although it was covered by a sheet, you could still see the blood and the feet. I've seen dead bodies countless of times in the movies, but seeing an actual one, I had no idea what to think. Also, when we walked back inside the competition was still going on and it seemed as if no one really knew what had just happened right outside the entrance. The whole thing just made me think of how precious life can be and how easily it can be lost.
3. My 2008 goal is to get into the best shape of my life. While I know this is the biggest cliche for a new year's resolution, this is my ultimate goal. I want to be able to run more than 5 miles... with ease. I probably could now, but I'd probably pass out at the end of it. My plan is to just basically run and run A LOT. I'll probably alternate running on a treadmill with running on an eliptical or using the bike. While I know the eliptical isn't very aerobic (sp? don't care...) it's fun : )
And the bike is nice because then I can sit on my as-- butt.

lol i love your resolution sarah. I wish i could do that too. I have wanted to get into really good shape the past 6 months but it hasn't happened. Maybe i should try again. Good luck!
Wow, that is so scary (the answer to #2). That would be the most... weird and strange experience ever! That is very scary that you could see the body, and he just committed suicide huh? I always get scared sometimes when I think of how it would feel to be falling all that way, what would you be thinking about? It's a disturbing thought.
If you want to we can fo sho go running. I haven't been running lately either just because of the break, but usually I run on my treadmill, but it would be nice to run outside. This sounds like a sweet idea. ;)
