I know you may be thinking, "aren't those usually wrote by the end of the year and start being tackled once the new one comes?".
Well, usually, yes. But the f*** with tradition. I'm tired of always "starting when is time". Instead, I decided I really want to start ahead, and cut the excuses of when should things be done, and just do them.
This past year 2011, honestly, was one of the worst years in my life. Nope. I'm not just a cry-baby, it was in fact, ridiculously bad. I spent most of the year with horrible thoughts in my head, and I spent most of it wishing it was over.
Close to the end of the year I realized even when the worst of the worst was happening to me and my family... Well, I still had one. A great one. In fact, if anything I can say without trying to sound presumptuous about it , my family is a blessing.
They are the reason I never gave up, and secretly between you and I, I also know I got extra strength from above. No, is not strength that you get from a top shelf in a supermarket, no. You know what I am talking about. Believer or not, there is always strength to find in many places, you might not have the best family, or friends, you might be passing the most horrible month of your life, but with this post and blog, I want to reach as much people as possible, and give them hope. (any!)
There is always hope somewhere, but you won't be able to see when you are suffering.
Perspective, is the key word. Have you heard about the glass half full or half empty?. Well cliché or not, it does matters big what your perspective of things is. And this year, even tho had bad bumps, had great joys for me. I am gonna go straight ahead and post my happy perspective about what are the resolutions I don't have to make!! (yes! the ones that I do NOT, you read it right!) and why I am happy to write them down shall be somewhat obvious. Here I go:
1) I do not have to involve in diets or things like that.
2) I do not have to stop smoking, because I don't.
3) I don't have to really work out, giving I have a 3 yr. old
4) I don't have to worry about quit drinking either.
5) Spend more time with my family (since it's always a must to a family oriented person like me)
6) Eat healthier (thanks to my parents)
And the resolutions that I did want to make, also from a very happy perspective.
1) Stop procrastination in all possible forms and levels.
2) Learn something new every month.
3) Walk around town and smile to people.
4) Go sledding (which I've never done, but don't blame it doesn't snow where I am from, but it does where I live now)
5) Involve in community , volunteer.
6) Find a way to travel more, regardless if it's local.
What do you guys think? Do you have any resolutions already in your head? Are you planning to wait to 2012... or you want to start tackling them like I do?.
Cheers!
