resolutions, pshhh.
“Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering ‘it will be happier’...” - Alfred Lord Tennyson
sooo many things can happen in ONE year...and what more is this blog for than some type of record. since i am so forgetful (which i know, i have said before) i want to remember all the things that happened this year, things i loved, did, learned about, etc.
i....
...started a new job
...resigned my lease on my apt in uptown
...continued attending the village church
...ran a 10k with one of my best friends
...went on vacation to Seattle to see my cousins
...read lots of books, if you need recomendations, i got 'em.
...met new people, gained new friends
...lost people i LOVED
...went through hard stuff, easy stuff, funny stuff
...continued mentoring marquejah
...fell in love with spotify which made my days fly by AND showed me lots of new music
...also fell in love with glitter nail polish (shout out kk)
...got a new car which was a hand-me-down that i love
...became officially addicted to twitter
...learned more about HR and excel than i ever could have imagined
...ate lots and lots of good food and wine in Dallas with people i love
...drove to Houston quite a bit, but it's ALWAYS worth it
...sat on the white couch alot with the roomies, cant imagine any better place honestly
...and obviously lots of other things i can't quite remember at the moment.
so for 2012, i have been thinking about some type of "resolution" because i LOVE the idea of committing to something but to be honest i'm not very good at it. and i love having goals but don't like breaking them so i can't do anything that is too hard (ha). so i think i just want to have a list, like the things above that i just want to do BETTER at this year.
...be a better friend and be intentional and love people well.
...when i say i will pray for some one, actually DO IT and not just do it once.
...use my gym membership more
...be open to new opportunities with work, boys, friends and life.
...not be consumed by iphones, social media, twitter, instagram, even though i do love all of those things.
...be confident in my swimsuit come March for vacay to st. thomas still trying to concoct an "effective" plan for this bc trust me, i have tried to snap my fingers and that hasnt worked soooo.
...become a member at the Village, this was technically part of last years "resolutions" but i am signed up for membership classes in January so i'm on my way.
...after i become a member, actually get involved and keep my commitments.
...eat less fried food, drink more water and less diet coke/dr pepper/etc.
...keep in touch with old friends.
...make my bed everyday. i mean there is just something about throwing your purse on the floor of your room after work and seeing that your bed is made. maybe for me its just knowing that that one part of my life is "under control."
...complain about my job less and instead be grateful that i have one. all days cant be a good day, even though i would be completely fine with that.
...run another 10k or maybe 2, that could also help with my above swimsuit "goal."
...spend my money on things that make memories and not things that i wont remember in 2 days.
...go on at least one vacation with my best friends :) this has only been a plan in the making for 4+ years ha.
...have a "shopping" budget. sadly this might be the hardest thing on this list. but again i will attempt.
...stick to a workout schedule. i would like it to be 2 mornings a week and 2 afternoons a week.
...live life and complain as little as possible. i know i have way too much to be grateful for BUT that i can be constantly reminded of those things and not consumed by the things that hang me up, but don't matter at all in the long run.
... anddddd, not let fear hold me back from doing ANYTHING.
