What I want to bring to 2006

Published on December 31, 2005 By InBloom In Blogging

I always ask myself, ‘what do I want this new year to bring me?’ But it made me think...wouldn’t it make more sense to ask what I would bring to this New Year? I mean, I cannot just sit back and expect things to happen for me.

So this is what I want to bring to 2006:

A person who will take her health more seriously.

A person who will try to keep ties intact...I was bad at keeping in touch this past year.

Someone who will speak up more...who will express ideas and opinions more easily.

A woman who will continue to work at becoming completely comfortable in her own skin...I’m not there yet...but I’ve come a long way, baby.

Someone who will show appreciation, love, and affection without holding back...my withdrawn personality causes problems in that area sometimes.

A person who will not jump to conclusions...maybe the glass IS half full...don’t always have to be thinking the other way around.

Someone who will face the fact that no, you cannot change all the problems in the world, but it doesn’t mean you can’t continue working on making some sort of difference.

I want these to go beyond stated resolutions...I want to put my words into action and not forget about them mid-year.

I hope you all bring meaningful and great things to 2006 as well...and If you have a list to share, I’d love to hear it.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year InBloom!
Oh this coming year has to be one of changes in my life...
I will be doing things that I used to do that bring me joy and contentment.

1. Return to eating the way I did in the nursing home, 3 regular meals, smaller portions, and healthy snacks
2. Return to walking at least 10 minutes a day, 4 times a day. That's what I did when my little Peppy dog was still alive...
3. Return to swimming at least 1x a week, keeps me limber, the muscles stretched, and I lose weight too, besides I''m
a fish that's been re-incarnated!
4. Return to my hobbies, like painting, drawing, and crafting. I miss doing that.
5. Return to dancing, in the dark, in the bathroom where no one can see me.........used to love that!
6. I forgot the rest already!

I know I need to learn patience all over again, humility, and let go of that selfishness I have......that's all now!

I like those two... But I also hope you try dancing in the daytime as well, if you don't already do so!

Thanks doc.

Not to sound like too much of a do-gooder (believe me, I'm not always good...

), but I have this desire to make at least a little difference in something or someone...and even though I have tried to accomplish this in the past, I don't think I'm doing it to the best of my abilities...so I will keep working on that.
