Resolutions and 2006

I haven't really sat down and thought about my resolutions and what they will be other than getting this "back 40" off my backside. That is a standing resolution each year all year long. Most times I achieve it only to see it come right back before the year is out. This year however will be different. hmmm Where have I heard that before? *heh*

Here we go:

resolution - The state or quality of being resolute; firm determination.
A resolving to do something. A course of action determined or decided on.

1 - I resolve to get the back 40 off, and the 20 that are sitting around my middle, and any other acreage that wasn't a part of the original package back in 1972. I also resolve to find some way under Heaven to keep it off. *heh*

2 - I resolve to just be me in my entirety. This means no longer giving to the point that I lose myself, my beliefs, my focus on life for another person, or cause.

3 - I resolve to be happy in spite of the difficulties in my life. I will not allow the drama, the Springer episodes of life, and health issues of loved ones to help me ruin my outlook on life.

4 - I resolve to not take my undeserved blessings for granted.

5 - I resolve to look at life through new fresh eyes and love it for what it truly is.

6 - I resolve to live in reality and not mine or any one else's warped view of such.

7 - I resolve to love without holding back no matter the cost to me. I want to leave this life knowing that I gave all I could, did all I could, and never regret that I didn't love someone with all I have.

8 - I resolve to be a better mother to my children. To give them more of my time and less of my bad moods and grumpy mornings.

9 - I resolve to be a better wife. To give more of my love without being guarded, and to stand firm on what I believe in. I will support, and love my husband with all my heart and at the same time plant my foot solidly on the ground in the name of love to help him.

10 - I resolve not to let the difficulties in my life get me down, and/or rob me of my self worth, my self confidence, and myself period. I will be strong, and I will be me.

Welcome 2006!


ps - and I resolve to go back to bed since the kiddos have left on the bus for school....*heh - yawn*
