Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012

It seems that every year goes by faster than the year before and this year was no exception.  This last year feels as though it flew by.  I hope that 2012 slows down a little so that I can really enjoy every moment of it. 
Every year many people, me included, make resolutions.  I often wonder why we bother after all who keeps these resolutions.  I can’t think of one person that has ever kept a resolution.  So this year I have decided that I’m not making any resolutions or goals.  I have decided that I’m just going to continue . . .
I’m going to continue to enjoy life as much as possible.  I’m going to continue smiling at people even when they don’t smile back.  I’m going to continue to cheer my grandkids on at their activities.  I’m going to continue to enjoy spending time with my family and friends.  I’m going to continue to do silly things with my friends such as sitting on the floor with a bottle of wine and lay’s potato chips singing karaoke as loud and off key as we can.  I’m going to continue to laugh out loud when my husband does something silly like bursting out singing “I’m sexy and you know it”; after all he is the sexiest man I know.  I’m going to continue to kick butt in Wii bowling.  I’m also going to continue watching old sitcoms and enjoy every minute of it.  I’m going to continue taking naps on Sundays; I may even start taking naps on Saturday’s as well.  But most of all I’m going to continue to just be me.
As the New Year begins my wish for my family and friends is that you also continue to be you, after all that is what makes you so special and why I like you so much.  So no matter if you decide to make resolutions or not I hope that you have a great New Year and that all your dreams come true.
