Something New

I have vowed to make the year 2012 all about CHANGE. Let me color this for you.

A Renewed Mind.

I have all these past issues haunting me from (insert year here).. yeah-- there's alot. I am learning to let go and Let God. Yes, very cliche but it's so true when you break it down and examine that phrase. It's time to let it all go!

A Healthier Body.

Let's face it, who doesn't want this? Okay Angelina Jolie maybe cause.. WELL look at her.. but I'm serious! I want to be healthy. I'm a 33 year old woman who wakes up each morning feeling like she's eleventy hundred years old. I ache in places that I didn't know could ache. (MUST EAT VEGGIES). I need to drop a tremendous amount of weight and this is the year it's going to happen... stay tuned for before and after pics.

A Beautiful Marriage.

Now to find the perfect husband.......JOKING hunny... totally kidding. My husband is wonderful but I'm a moody, discontented, irrational, has to have my way kinda gal sometimes.(wink wink). This alone will be the hardest to change. It's kind of built in ya know? But I will work on focusing on my own walk instead of trying to change his. We're in this for the long haul.. might as well make it a vacation instead of wandering around in the desert for 40 years.

A Better Mommy.

My daughter overnight has turned 13. Yes, crazy I know! I mean all of you mom's know what this is like. One minute they are cute gurgling little babies and then you blink and BAM you have a teenager. I regret so much when it comes to being her Mommy, most of all not enough time spent with her doing the things that are supposed to shape her into the miniature version of me (Lord help her). I want to make that extra time this year for those Mommy daughter dates that are vital.

Of course there is so much more that needs changing but just wanted to highlight the major categories. So with that said here goes nothing!

Happy New Year 2012!

I don't Believe in New Year's Resolutions But....

A sentence to summarize what I learned this year (actually, my New Year's resolution):  I want to be the person who says "I am" rather than the person who says "I'm going to."  THE END

Brilliance at it's best explains me at my worst

IF

If you can keep your head when all about you   

    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

    But make allowance for their doubting too;   

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;   

    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;   

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

    And treat those two impostors just the same;   

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

    And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

    To serve your turn long after they are gone,   

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,   

    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

    If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,   

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,   

    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Words To Live By

"A new affection is more successful in replacing an old affection than simply trying to end it without supplanting it with something better."
