Resolutions

Welcome, 2010! I think. Losing weight is not on my list this year. 95% of the American people will have "LOSE WEIGHT" in the top five of their resolution lists. I figure if I lose weight, I lose weight and if I don't, well, I won't be disappointed in letting myself down.

One thing I need to work on is to be a better listener. I tend to jump to conclusions before people finish their sentence(s). I am going to allow myself to be a little selfish as well. I need to create a corner for myself where I can sit and ponder or read. There are days when I need to escape for just a few minutes and take care of myself. As a nurturer and giver, this is going to be a tough resolution.

I need to work on being more considerate of others and their feelings. If I ask, "How are you today?" then I need to be willing to give that person a few minutes to tell me how they are actually doing. And I also need to stop whining and complaining so damn much. I won't even open that can of worms today. Let's just say I need to stop and enjoy life instead of letting it slip away because of my chore list.

Hopefully by working on a few small things in my life, it will help make me a better person. The world is a big and scary place but I am going to make the most out of the time I have left in it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! And good luck with those resolutions......
