Resolutions for 2013

With the start of a new year come resolutions, which many people often make for themselves. I thought I'd take this opportunity to state a few of mine.

Resolution #6: to end communication with certain people who I've known for many years, but who have never made much effort--in the last few years--to continue maintaining our friendship. In my book, friendship is a two-way street and I don't need flakes for friends.

Resolution #5: to start working on the book that I've been wanting to write for a while now.

Resolution #4: to get back to an exercise routine that won't require me going to the gym. I enjoy Zumba, but I can't afford to do it all the time. I might brave the cold weather and start going for walks or jogs in the area where I live.

Resolution #3: to find stable employment that will help me with finishing up my college education.

Resolution #2: to allow more time (aka ME time) for myself. I tend to worry a lot over things, such as trying to pass my math course. I need to relax more and hope that I can do so in 2013.

My #1 and final resolution: to NOT keep torturing myself by remembering people from my past. It's all about the future now and I don't want to be reminded of those who never once cared for me.

What are your resolutions for 2013?

Happy New Year!

Well, 2007 is almost history and another new year is upon us. Time sure flies! I have but only a few wishes for 2008:


1) I pray that my parents have the best of health. They're the greatest people I know (ok, so I'm a little biased!) and I don't know how I would survive without them. :)


2) For my sister to have faith during this tough time that she 's going through. Things will eventually get better for her.


3) For my brother to have continued success in what he enjoys doing and I hope that he finds that someone special.


4) For my two nieces and nephew to be happy despite what they and their mother have gone through this year. I pray that my oldest niece will enjoy her new surroundings and job, and that her b/f stays true to her and takes care of her. For my nephew, I also hope he enjoys his new surroundings and that he will stay focused while away at school. As for middle niece, I hope that she enjoys her time off away from school and that she knows that she can always go back to it when she is good and ready.


5) For the rest of my growing and extended family, I hope that everyone is in good health and that their lives are filled with love and happiness.


6) For my old & new friends, I hope that they're happy. I may have lost contact with a few "old" friends [though not by choice], but all I really wish for them is the best.


7) As for me, I still have the same wishes as I did before: that I have great health and continued success in school. And if God is listening, I pray that 2008 will be a great year for me in that I will finally meet that special someone!
