Self improvement should be a constant goal for all human beings. Yet there is something about this time of year that makes people want to start over new.
...I resolve to constantly reflect and improve.
2008 was a crazy good year. Better than I could have ever expected: engagement, new house, new position, new music goals, new president elected, and new friendships. Sure, there were bumps along the road, but nothing too intense. Nothing we couldn't handle.
...I resolve to remember the good when the bad sneaks up on me.
2009 is here and looms over my head as I anxiously await it. The next few months are already spattered with shows, recitals, auditions, family visits, wedding planning, showers, and parties. July will be the final sprint to the altar along with a much needed week of relaxation to recover from the last year and a half of planning. Thoughts of going back to school in the fall swim around my head and tug at my heart strings. Exciting things are happening once again. I could be the luckiest girl in the world.
...I resolve to stay this positive.
The bumps in the road will most likely stay the same as they were in 2008. They hadn't really changed from the year before. We put off our wedding until this summer with hopes of a few family relationships mending in that time. Nothing changed in that department, which leads me to believe that nothing will change in 2009.
...I resolve to accept the shitty situations in life.
Aside from the normal wear and tear of life, my body feels good, my heart feels full, and my head craves to learn more. I did sit down and come up with a list of things I want to change in the new year and while some of it is personal, I'll share some not-so-secret ones below.
Happy New Year, everyone:
I resolve to... be a better listener.
I resolve to... stay in contact with people.
I resolve to... play with my kits more.
I resolve to... spend more time out of the house with my man.
I resolve to... spend more time reading.
I resolve to... keep learning.
I resolve to... keep exploring.
I resolve to... meet new people.
I resolve to... stay responsible.
I resolve to... be irresponsible every once in awhile. ; )
I resolve to... sleep more.
I resolve to... eat more fancy chocolate.
I resolve to... continue to stay healthy.
I resolve to... make a difference, big or small.
