You know what? I don’t think that beginning a fresh year focusing on all that I need to fix and work on is really all that great of a way to start off. Rather, it’s kinda depressing. So let’s begin this post with the things that I already do that I feel pretty damn good about.
In 2013 I resolve to continue…
1. Being optimistic.
The world is much prettier through rose tinted glasses. Just saying.
2. Focusing on my family.
Duh. They’re my whole being.
3. Taking a time out with my friends.
I will always make time to be with them. We need each other. Especially after a long day.
4. Following my passion for blogging and sharing with you all.
I love connecting you with her.
And that brand with that editor.
And that budding artist with that brand new fan.
I asked Josh for one thing about me that he wants me to continue. In his words…
“Considering your shopping addiction, at least you try to buy “on sale””.
This one surprised me. I guess I have him fooled.
Do I have room to improve? Well, I guess I could start with being more honest with Josh about my shopping habits, ha! I mean, yes, I suppose I do love a good sale. But in all seriousness, I do have one resolution that really stands out in my head.
Shock ’em! Shock myself. I want to do something that is out of my comfort zone. That I wouldn’t expect out of myself. And you won’t expect it either. So be on the lookout. For what? No idea. But I’m really hoping it’s grand enough that you’ll be all like, oh snap, there she went and did it.
And I have a couple more resolutions, too…
1. Drop these extra pounds I gained in December before heading to ALT later this month.
It’s not a lot, but it’s enough that my clothes just aren’t as comfy or look quite the same.
2. I’d like to do a lot more fun events with my kids.
The “get out of the house” kind of fun stuff.
3. I want to entertain at home more.
We’re settled now. Is the house how I want it yet? No, but who cares.
4. Not allow unsupportive peeps to get me down.
You know, the friends that don’t seem to follow up or rarely acknowledge a success.
I will also focus more attention on my genuine friends.
5. Focus on completion.
There are a million and one things I need to tie up. Let this be my kick in the ass.
Hey 2013, bring it!
