New Years Eve Eve thoughts

A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other. (Author Unknown)

That quote kind of saids it all. Every year I seem to want to change some things that did not work so well in the previous year. Like lose weight, travel more, eat healthier, be nicer and kinder, keep a better house, don't shop so much (this one is really hard to keep), go to church more, have people over for dinner more and so on.

I want to be better and do better but time just gets away from me. Here it is the Eve Eve to a new year and I am wanting to make more resolutions that I know will be hard to keep past the first few months. Why is that??? I have good intentions! I want to change or do better at what ever I say but still I just can't seem to do it....

Sometimes it is a time thing, I either did not realize how much time it would take if I do this or that. Sometimes it is are you kidding me thing. Or a how much it that????

I then think why change, we are who we are right!! But we all seem to want to do things different no matter who we are or how good our lives look to others. So is that the reason we all want to change. So the appearance will seem better??? I know I have spent a lot of time looking at myself this year and the decisions I have made. Some good some did not turn out so good.

I think instead of changing things for other people I will change as I go along. As I see things work and not work. Say things I hope will lift others. Help in any way I can. Be there to listen, hug, and just cry if need be. I don't think that all changes are meant to be KEPT they are meant for us to take a better look at ourselves and change the things that we SEE can be changed. If we make a pre arranged plan and things don't go according to that plan we are more likely to not change anything.

So this year my New Years resolution will be to take each day as it comes, and go with the flow. I will said what is wrong at the time it goes wrong, help when I see the need, pray when it is called for( which for me is every second of the day), always have a shoulder for others to lean on. I just want to be more aware of my surroundings and with my eyes open.

So I wish everyone a very Happy New Years and may this coming year be all you would like it to be!!! Love you all!!!

Well written. I think it's the only real way to make a change. One step at a time. One day at a time.
As far as I'm concerned, your already great at doing those things you wrote at the end.
I can't believe we go back to school in less than 48 hours. We should have gone to lunch! Maybe we can go for my birthday on Sat. Think about it.
