As one year ends and another begins we like to reflect on
the past and make resolutions that we feel would make the coming year better
than the last year. So my reflections
are more like discoveries about myself than anything else.
I discovered that my family is very important to me. I can’t tell you how many times I have
thought that my family could be the biggest pain in the butt, however I have
discovered that they can be but I still love them. I discovered that my daughters are grown
women and that I need to step back and let them blossom. I discovered that my grandkids are amazing
individuals that have many talents that I just didn’t know that the possessed. I discovered that I love my husband more
today than I did the day that we got married.
I discovered that without my family encouraging me and cheering me on
that I may not have reached the goals that I have set for myself. So with each discovering there is also a goal
and my goal for 2014 for my family is to become their cheerleaders in life.
I discovered that I have some truly amazing friends. This year we were blessed with spending a
couple of long weekends with special friends.
We laughed, cried and got into trouble together; but then again if you
are going to get into any kind of trouble who better than a friend. We also continued our monthly dinner with a very
good friend who I know that no matter what happens I can count on her to be
there a 100% for me and I know that I would be there 100% for her if the need
ever arose. So my goal for the New Year
is to spend more time with my friends, to laugh more with them and to think
about them more often.
This year I discovered that I wasn’t making enough time for
my hobbies. I love to read but there
just never seemed to be enough hours in the day to sit down with a good book
and read. I also love to cross stitch
but once again I just never seemed to find the time to do this either. However I did seem to find enough time to
play games on Facebook. I discovered
that I probably need a 12 step program for my Farmsville 2 addiction; there is
just something about that game that is addictive. My goal for the New Year is to spend less
time on Farmsville 2 and more time on reading and cross stitching.
I discovered this last year that I love junk food. I discovered that everything is better with
bacon. Bacon goes with everything from
your basic breakfast foods to deserts. I
had found that while I enjoy my more exercise routine it just hasn’t been
enough that I really need to step it up and get back to doing more than just
riding an exercise bike in the morning.
My goal for the New Year is to increase my exercise routine and to become
more active on the weekends. I ‘m also
going to try and not eat as much junk as I have been and to remember that while
bacon may go with everything doesn’t necessarily mean that I need to eat it
with everything.
So as 2013 comes to an end and we head into 2014 I know that
I’m not always going to meet my goals but I’m going to do my best to reach
them. Good bye 2013 and hello 2014!!!!
