We had an uneventful New Years.\u00a0 We invited a few families and my parents over to the house for a laid back evening.\u00a0 That’s not quite what happened.\u00a0 Our house is flat out too small to host any more gatherings if we can’t be outside.\u00a0 We were bursting at the seams with only a few people!!!<\/p>\n
Now to the point of my post…Resolutions.\u00a0 I go back and forth on whether or not I agree with or believe in resolutions.\u00a0 I believe in goals, I believe in constantly bettering yourself (drives Randy crazy), but I don’t believe in only doing it once a year and making the resolution for an entire year.\u00a0 Small goals are much more achievable.\u00a0 All that being said, I think I have a good one this year.\u00a0 My resolution is to stop taking myself so seriously.\u00a0 The girls in my accountability group know all about my shortcomings and my self induced drama, but the rest of you might not.<\/p>\n
I am so hard on myself at all times.\u00a0 It starts with my weight, and continues to my house not being perfect, and not being the smartest person at my job, and not dressing well enough, and I don’t spend enough time in devotion with God and I’m not a wonderful girlfriend, and I don’t write thank you notes…the list literally goes on.\u00a0 I never give myself a break.\u00a0 To illustrate how bad I can be, when I was a kid in school my parents never once punished me for a bad grade.\u00a0 My mom’s logic was that I was already punishing myself enough so she didn’t need to.\u00a0 And she was right!<\/p>\n
All of this nonsense is taxing as you can imagine.\u00a0 So my resolution is to give it a rest already.\u00a0 I will lose this weight slowly, we will buy a new house one day that has the space I want, I’ve only been in my job for 3 months obviously I won’t be the best, etc.\u00a0 This year more than ever I truly pray that I can keep my resolution forever!<\/p>\n
