Tis the reason......

So Christmas is done and the new year is around the corner. Well 4 days actually. This past week I have racked my brain trying to figure out what I did this past year that I would want to do better or different this year. To be honest I cant think of one thing I would change.

Now that's not to say I wouldn't change anything. Its just there isn't anything memorable this past year I would do different. Like most people I have my New Year Resolutions. Like 1. Quit Smoking. 2. Exercise. and so on and so forth. However to look back and say I want to change this or I wish I could do that over again I just have no idea what that one thing would be. I mean sure I had plenty of cool things happen this past year. My kids turned another year older, my husband got a promotion, I finally got my house in order and got a "new car" (well Van actually), but to say I would do anything different is a stretch.

I guess what I am getting at is that this year what I will do different is to make the most out of my year and to enjoy the little things in my life and my families. We are finally making time to have a "family day". This is a day where we as a family go out and explore the world together. We will fish, hike, hunt, camp and really enjoy each others company without the use of "electronics" to distract us from the rest of the family. I want to  make sure I make time for each of my family members and enjoy their company as an individual away from the distractions of the others. Such as a mother-daughter day, or a day where me and my oldest go to the park and practice his soccer. Finally me and my husband will have a chance to go out on a date night other than our anniversary.

What is your reason for bettering yourself this coming year. Is it for self image, better family time, to better yourself as a person (husband, wife, brother, sister, ect.). Maybe your reason is to make your family better or to help others. Whatever your reason is make sure it is a good one and for the right, well for lack of a better word, reason. I hope you find what you want in this new year and I hope it helps you find who you are in this life. Never for one moment think you always have next year because you never know what life has in store and next year or next month, next week, or even tomorrow is promised to us. Love yourself, love your family, and most important embrace those around you and make your life positive. Throw away the negative in your life. Be it people, friends, jobs, or objects. Make this next year one to remember and always, always keep an eye out on yours truly, Yourself.  Much Love and Happiness in the new year and may you and yours have a memorable one.


P.S. Please comment on what you want to change and how you think you can change it. If you don't know how maybe others will have an idea on how to help you. Remember you are not alone out there and others (even if they are strangers) just might have the right answer.
