NYE was spent with great friends that I feel so blessed to have! 2011 brought new friends, renewed old friendships, made lasting memories, and gave me a group of people that made a huge impression. I learned that there are some people in your life that you simply cannot live without. Because once they are near- you can't imagine life before them! I learned that it really is ok to be a little different....even if you wear heels (instead of boots) in a West Texas town and you don't have a clue about what goes on at a stock show...real friends will still love and accept you! I learned that working with your spouse-is hard... it takes work and compromise. But once you get that figured out-it's great! And just recently I have seen that life is truly a gift and fragile. You have to take every day and live it to the absolute fullest! You can't step backward or worry about yesterday- you have to keep moving forward and learn from the past! (Easier said than done)
NY Resolution #2: Be more patient...I am one of the worst road rage drivers out there! I hate slow drivers, people that don't know they can turn right on red, etc. But- I am going to try to be more patient...and not just when driving. When waiting in line, shopping, at dr's offices, etc. All around everyday life is loaded with bubble busters and I refuse to let them pull out the yelling, rage-issue little demon inside me! HA!
NY Resolution #3: Finally find drapes for my breakfast nook and living area. (Now this I just may succeed at!) We have lived in this house for 3 1/2 years and I have yet to find drapes for these 2 areas! I have looked incessantly- and friend want to take this project on?!
There is no weight loss-fitness-diet goal this year....i would just cave and stuff myself full of brownies by day 3...who am I kidding?...day 1!!! In general- I just want to stay happy. I refuse to weigh everyday and panic over a few pounds this year! Let's see how I feel about this in May when it's time to put on a bathing suit?!
2011 was a great year but I am hoping that 2012 brings just as many blessings and fewer freak-out moments!! Hope you all have an amazing 2012!!!
