New Year's Resolutions...

Yes, we made some resolutions this year... One of mine is to keep up with the blog. Bahahaha.... Not really. I have, however, taken time to make some good resolutions and one of them was to take time to record insights/special occasions and moments/and gained wisdom. I even bought an awesome journal with an owl on it to write things in. I actually really like it. Alan thinks my love for owls is weird. I think not.
Speaking of...
I also resolved to start basing my decisions on Me and my personal needs/goals/desires/interests, instead of basing them on how I want people to think of me. I mean, really, think about it... How much of what you do, say, achieve, and strive for is based on your own personal development and not influenced by how you are perceived by others?  Maybe you're really dieting for you, and not to try and fit the mold of  the 'perfect' body type. Maybe you run because you love to, or maybe it's because it is cool to be 'a runner.'.... Or maybe you spend Way too much of your time analyzing comments you make or conversations you've had to see how you might have come across to the other person. (Guilty) I don't know. Maybe, if you're anything like me, you see that much of what you do is not based on internal motivators, but externally so.This year, I really want to get to know myself better. I want to do things because they bring me joy. I want to like my body and stop spending so much thought and energy in trying to change what is just fine.  I want to find my true strengths and develop them. I want to work on becoming a better me, for Me. Basically, I want to stop caring about what people may THINK of me, and start caring more about what the Lord SEES in me. I'll have to post later in the year what kinds of things I am discovering about myself. For now, I think I'm mostly just discovering how little I really do based on Me.
Ok... Enough with the Deep. My only other resolution this year is to get my hair redone, so I don't have 2 ft of a tangled horse tail hanging off my scalp. And yes, that is for Me:)
