I have never really been a New Years Resolution kind of girl.......








I have never really been a New Year's Resolution kind of girl. With that being said its not that I do not think the idea behind it is good. I just have done it in the past and it has always ended the same. The first month I am dedicated to whatever it may be and then slowly I lose sight of it. Not because I want to but because it is just the way it happens. Instead I think the best thing to do is reflect on the past year. The happy times, the heartache , the AH HA moments , and the what was I thinking moments. The times that made us laugh so hard we cried, and the times that it hurt so bad we cried. Remember what was really important and remember what we thought may have been at the moment but looking back now it seems trivial. Take each of these moments as a teaching moment and go forward with that under your belt. Try to remember the kind words you said to people that brought a smile to their face. Also remember the unkind things you thought or said to someone that clearly hurt them. We all have done it. We all have been there in the moment and things were said in anger or hurt before we could stop them. So instead of a New Years Resolution take last year as a learning experience and go forward from there. Will you still have bad days .. of course! Will you still find your self saying something unkind? Probably but hopefully you will think about it more this time. Will you experience heartache??? Absolutely its a part of life that is beyond our control. However you will also have happy moments, moments of joy, moments of love and pure bliss. Embrace those........ So for 2015 instead of my promises to lose weight , and eat better (although that would be nice and I shall try) Try instead to take what you learned in 2014 and move forward with it....... Smile more..... stress less.. and Breathe ...
