2010

"And you ask me what I want this year and I try to make this kind and clear, just a chance that maybe we'll find... better days." Better Days by The Goo Goo Dolls

When I dream of what's to come in the new year I see car lights in the driveway. I was listening to the song "Where We Gonna From Here" by Mat Kearney when I got that picture. The line is "car lights in the driveway I wonder who's going.. coming my way. Tomorrow we're turning down the highway..." I can see potential in the new year but I don't know what that means. I can't explain it very well, but I feel unusually optimistic about 2010. That's why the idea of car lights in the driveway fits so well.

You know when you were young and you waited at the window for someone to come home. Be it your parents, or visiting Grandparents, when those head lights broke the darkness and veered into the driveway your heart jumped. I'm sitting in the window sill; waiting. The new year holds infinite possibilities and I know that I will see better days turning down my driveway.
