Guess I had better start this year off right and blog huh? As my mom would say, "You haven't blogged in a while!" So this one is for you mom! So after much thought and prayer, I have come up with my New Year's Resolutions for 2013: 1. Do not depend on anyone else for my happiness.(I seem to do this too much now and my disappointment builds with every let down.) If I am responsible for my own happiness, I can blame no one but myself if things don't do the way I want them. 2. Be a better, more loving, kind, thoughtful person to others. (We talk about this alot in church but this year, I am really going to try to do this more and to not excpect anything in return.) 3. Make better life choices for my health and get back to the person I know I can be. (I am more unhealthy than ever and weigh my highest weight in my life currently. I know I will feel so much better and have better luck with #1 if I take my health back.) 4. Be more thankful for all the blessings as well as the tribulations in my life.(It is very easy to be thankful when things are going good in life but not so easy when things are rough. I am going to use those opportunities to draw closer to God.) 5. Speak my mind more but never in a hurtful way. (Often times, I want to make my point and don't care who I hurt to do that. From now on, while speaking how I feel, I am going to be conscious of others feelings in doing so.) 6. Put God first in all things.(Things would be so much easier if I just did this.) 7. Tell friends and family that I love them more. (I have the most amazing friends and famiily and I don't tell or show them enough how much I love them.) 8. Be active and not sedentary. (When I think of how much time I spend in the recliner or laying around watching tv, I am sickened. Life is what we make of it and I am making it a waste.) 9. Do two things I have always wanted to do but never took the time. (I am trying to learn to play the guitar and take some photography classes. I've always wanted to do those two things.) 10. Write a book.(I actually started this a few days ago. I am writing a memoir from my 13 years so far as a teacher. Look for it to be finished and published in Dec. of 2013!) There are a lot of other things I want to do but this is a good starting list and definitely the most important ones for my happiness and well being. To all my friends and family reading this, I love you! Look for updates this year in my 2013 journey to happiness and great health!
Till next time,
Beck
