Happy New Year to all my friends and family! I have tried to come up with a New Years Resolution, but I hate failure in any certain area. I have decided to try and live a better, more simple, less drama type of life!
I want to improve in many areas, the first being able to speak my mind in an honest and non-harmful way. I feel that sometimes I try to be too politically correct, I never want to hurt others feelings, as I don't like to have my feelings hurt. But I also want to be able to voice my OPIONION, without people taking things so personally. Any suggestions on that would be greatly appreciated. As my friends or family, would you rather receive a tactful, honest answer, or do you just want to hear what you want to be told?
I also want to improve my health, not that I have bad health, I just want a healthier lifestyle, which includes food, exercise and stress. I stress over things I can not change, I stress over whether I am doing a good job raising my kids or if I let them "play" me too often, I stress over work, I stress over feeling like I have to do it if I want it done right (which is just the way I prefer something to be done). I need to let things go more, I need to not care if the towels are folded "my way", I need to let others take on more chores, I know I need to "let go", but I struggle with that, but I also stress over not "letting it go". I need to tell people when I just can't do something. I sometimes let others issues be my responsibility, and I just can't continue doing that. I know that, but again, its hard to let it go.
I want to be more spontaneous and fun. Sometimes I feel like I need to be the "responsible" one in a group, and then I end up feeling like the stick in the mud. I enjoy kayaking, camping, just going someplace and spending time with people. I don't enjoy shopping, its just not for me. I want to wake up on a weekend and just do stuff, not anything in particular, just stuff.
I want to work on projects around the house, maybe by this time next year, I can tell you that my kitchen is painted, the family room is painted and the small bath is being worked on. I have decided that instead of waiting & stressing over if I CAN do a project or not, I just need to try. If it turns out that painting is not my area of expertise, atleast it will be a new color...right?
I like a simple life. I like not having drama. I like enjoying life.
