New Year Resolutions
Good morning.
I'm not one for making New Years resolutions. The only thing I can think of that I might want to resolve to do is quit smoking. Somehow I don't think putting a date on it will make that happen. When I was sick and couldn't breathe, I thought I may be able to quit then, but I didn't. I kind of knew that as soon as I felt better I would smoke more and that's exactly what happened. I make resolutions all the time, I'm always looking to improve myself and/or my life. I just don't make an announcement of my intentions.
More than that, New Years to me is about celebrating. A new year to look forward to and the old year to look back and reflect on. And it's just such a good excuse to party.
I'm not sure what to say about 2006. I think there was more negative than positive. We were looking forward to settling our lawsuit, didn't happen. We got ourselves a little further in debt. I went through this whole thing of getting tired of Hubbys pain and Hubbys job dictating our life. I lost my mind one day and lost a few people I had believed to be my bestest friends. Apparently I was wrong, they weren't even good friends, never mind bestest. They were merely self-righteous and selfish, not the kind of people I want in my life anyway. My car was out of service more often than not. I had an Uncle pass away this time last year. I got sick. My niece is very ill. I hardly saw any of my family at all in 2006. I came this close to getting my dentures and then ran out of money to have my remaining teeth pulled. The bike, like my car, wasn't running most of the time, we hardly did any riding. We went on maybe 2 or 3 decent scoots all year. Big R is having some issues, maybe because she lost her job, maybe just because she doesn't like her mother. We hardly spoke or saw each other all year, I miss her. My home business never got off the ground.
But on the positive side, Hubby has come to agree with me that it may be time to move on in his employment. The end must be near for our lawsuit. Even with his pain, Hubby has become more willing to giterdone around the house. The people I lost aren't missed as much as I had anticipated. I'm better off without them I think. The great thing is, I'm always meeting new people. I did make at least one good friend in 2006. Except for smoking too much, I have made steps towards better health. I've lost weight, even though I am not one of those people who obssesses over their weight, I'm happy to shed a few pounds. All these new doctors and whatnot are getting to my problems and just being diagnosed was a huge weight off my shoulders, something less to wonder and worry about.
I don't know, I believe 2007 will be a good year. I believe good things will happen. I know there will be changes in our lives. Little R will be going to high school this year! I welcome 2007 with open arms, an open mind, and an open heart.
Have a fabulous day!
