To a year of inspiration and growth...

I don't really believe in horoscopes. The vagueness of them always make them true for the reader who wants it to be. Yet whenever I see a horoscope, in a paper on the train or in a magazine lying around somewhere, I always read my horoscope. Not because I believe, but maybe more because I want to believe. Believe that somewhere, someone can tell me my future just because they know my starsign. That someone can give me a sneak-preview of where my life is headed. No details, just the direction.

I'm a scorpio. Scorpios are said to be 'old souls' according to astrology. Often wise beyond their years, intuitive, passionate and with great emotional depth and sensitivity. Hard to get through to, but loyal to the ones who do. I'm not sure if that's me, and if it is, if my starsign is to blame or just my parents' genes mixed in a particular way to produce me. But there seems to be some truth in it. Again, I don't really know if that means I should believe or maybe I just want to believe.

Today I read my horoscope for 2008 in a magazine. For scorpios it said that 2008 will be a year of inspiration and growth. That I will find myself happier and more relaxed about life and that all the pieces of the puzzle will seem to fall into place almost by itself. And I really want to believe this. Want there to be truth in this. I'm all for growing and being inspired. Looking back on 2007, I can now finally say I found some balance and a sense of being home again. It's been a surprising and interesting year for me, and today I can say I feel a whole lot better with where I'm at in my life and what I'm doing with it right now than I did this time last year. I'm ready for a new challenge and seeing where it takes me. So here's to a year inspiration and growth. Scorpio or not, I hope it will be true for all of you. Happy 2008!!

Love Carine

PS. In the spirit of end of year advice, here's a link to a song I heard on the radio today and in my opinion had some interesting thoughts in it if you listen to the words. Something to base your new year's resolutions on :)
