NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS

  • Take life as it comes. Stop worrying about what stupid things I did in the past and how fast the future is coming and just think about the good things that are happening now in the present. 
  • Get organized and stay organized! Stop letting things slip when I am having "a bad week" or am just too plain lazy. Get rid of a lot of things in a few months when I move. Donate and throw away all of the stuff I never use.
  • Take more time for myself. Get off of the the computer and sew, read, play a game, anything.
  • Be more cautious of my money. I am pretty certain I have developed a condition known as oniomania and I cannot stop shopping! I need to be more aware of my budget and save more money so I can afford a new vehicle and maybe someday soon a house!
  • Try cooking something new every once in awhile. I like cooking and never try to for fear of screwing it up and wasting time and money. I got a few new cookbooks as well as some awesome aprons for Christmas so I should have plenty of ideas on hand.
  • Eat better and exercise more. Last year I started off doing really well with this and completely gave up halfway through. I am going to stick to it for good.
  • Complain less and try to fix the things that are bothering me, be it where I live or where I am working.
  • Last but not least, be a happier person! Life is short, stop wasting it!

Edit: (March 22, 2011)
I think I have pretty much accomplished my resolutions from last year. Even though I am unemployed, I am at a good place in life right now where I have the opportunity to decide where and how I want to live. I can step back and think about what I want to do with my life. Even though times are hard financially, I feel positive about the future.
