Athbhliain faoi mhaise dhuit! Happy new year!!!
I am so happy to say that 2016 has bitten the dust, it’s history, it’s out of here and 2017 has arrived! Goodbye! Thank goodness! 2016 was a very bad year all around and i look forward to seeing what this new year brings.
Usually I make new years resolutions and I don’t end up keeping them, since this is a whole new year and I feel things are going to be different i’m going to tell you what I have decided my resolutions will be for this year. I truly believe that I will be able to keep these too as I have kind of already began to fulfill them. Yay for realistic goals!
1. No more soda.
I have already begun the process of weaning myself off soda by drinking La Croix water which does basically the same thing that I was drinking the soda for. I was no longer drinking it for the caffeine but for the carbination. I was craving the carbination and I get that through the water I now drink and it’s good too. Many flavors make this easier and the flavors aren’t weak either, this helps. The good thing is that this water is good for you as well, no artificial flavors or any of the stuff sodas have, it’s all natural. So, starting today, no more pop!
2. I will be a better friend.
By this I mean that I’ll make a better effort to talk to my friends before they message me first and the friends I have made recently I will take the time to get the chance to know them all bettter. I’d like to spend time with my friends equally, I don’t wish for any of them to feel as if they are being left out. My friends are a huge part of my world and you all should know that, not only that but I do charish and love you all.
3. I will go back to eating more healthy foods like I used to.
I have really been neglecting my health as of late with eating a lot of junk food again. I was still eating my fruits and veggies and things like that but I was mixing junk in to the mix that did not need to be in my diet. I will Make my daily smoothie again in the mornings for breakfast. I was starting to feel really good when I was doing that and i’d like to go back to that. I would love to have a treadmill so that i could walk on a daily basis, i hate sitting idle doing nothing.
4. I will not skip my doctor’s appointments.
For the past couple of years I have been really bad about going to my doctor’s appointments. Truth is I don’t like going unless it’s an emergency but something in my body is telling me that it’s not a good thing to do. So, this year I will go to every single one made and take much better care of myself medically then I have been. No more canceling appointments after I make them. It’s never a good thing to ignore one’s body.
5. I will concentrate more on my goals and make them happen or start to.
Goal 1: Getting my new CD out there
I will get all of my songs covered and get my next cd out this year. I’m sorry guys for the lack of new material.
Goal 2: I will get all of my school stuff done so that i may start school next fall semester. Yes, still accounting and small business courses is what i’m going to take.
I know these are only two goals but to me they are major and if I get those accomplished then I will set more.
6. I will worry less about the future and take life as it comes at me.
I think that one is self explanatory. I tend to worry a lot lately about what is going to happen in the future rather than focusing on the here and now. Will I get a new job? When will I finally get a new job? Will I be ready for school when the time comes around? Will they ever catch who set the fires here in my building? How long does Ozzy have left with me till it’s his time to go? I just worry about things i shouldn’t be worrying about. I will not worry so much this year and just let life take it’s course. I do worry about Ozzy though as last year I thought I was going to lose him for good. He got really sick and stopped eating and drinking so I was really scared. He turned out alright though and he’s even gaining back some of the weight back that he lost, yay for recovering cats!!!
What i wish for you all in this coming year.
Good health.
Happiness.
Friendship that never ends.
Fulfillment in all of your endeavors.
Less stress.
Kindness.
