New Year
Friday, December 31, 2010 at 8:36PM I’ve been sitting here watching Shanghai Noon, with my computer in my lap, thinking of what to write down for my New Years resolutions.
Then I went and checked out the meaning of resolution.
Resolution – a decision to do something or to behave in a certain manner. finding a solution to a problem.
It’s so easy to spout off things you want to do, things you dream of and things you want, but when you really sit down and think about it, what are the things in 2011 that you want to decide to do differently or to resolve?
It’s almost as if you are going back over 2010, seeing where you may have gone wrong, and choosing to fix that. But really it’s a chance to look over 2010, be thankful for every good moment and every bad moment, and to start fresh, start over, take the lessons learned with you and keep moving forward. It’s a wonderful thing really!
So here I am, writing down thing after thing that I want to accomplish and achieve for myself and others.
I’m writing what I plan to figure out or do, but really it’s all up in the air. Every day is a new adventure, and things happen all the time that we don’t plan for. Like my fuel pump dying in my car on Christmas Eve while I was in Oklahoma City, or the fact that we might get stranded in Montana for the New Year because it’s gonna be 4 degrees with a lot of snow!
Really though, you can get mad or you can just decided to look at the bright side and make the most of it. Now my car is fixed and that problem won’t happen again for a long, long time! And heck, if we get stuck in Montana we can have a killer snowball fight and make snow angels! It’s been forever since I’ve done that.
So, all that being said, go with what happens this next year.
Embrace 2011 with a new desire to see the good in all of it! Decide now that when you are looking back on 2011 this same time next year you will smile and be excited that you made it through in one piece, and with more adventure and stories than you can count.
Happy New Year everyone! Much love and peace to you all. God bless!
