My Resolution

I've pondered on if it's even worth it... to make a resolution. Seems like resolutions are just goals made which most of the time are out of the ordinary. Loose weight, exercise more, eat healthier (all of which I need to do every day, not just as a New Years resolution), achieve a promotion at work, stop smoking... yada yada yada. A survey taken shows that 80% who make New Year resolutions, only 20% actually achieve them. I don't want to be a statistic, so instead of making a "New Years Resolution"...... I'm going to enhance what I already have in my life.

The year 2007 will have me taking better care of myself (no specific goals to achieve and stress over), I will continue to do my job at work... not set out to do better as I feel that the job I do now is satisfactory and my assigned duties are accomplished, nor will I promise myself to stop smoking.... when I'm ready it will happen. Instead I will wake up every day and enjoy the life God has granted me. I will savor every happy moment and know that I wake up in a nice warm bed and I'm able to hug my loved ones as we head off to work or to school. There are many families right here in America that cannot do this. We make New Years resolutions without thinking of the familes that wake up in homeless shelters, families that don't know where their next meal will come from, families that can't kiss their loved ones as they head off to work or to school.

One thing 2006 has taught me is that things happen just the way they are supposed to. 2006 for me, has been the most amazing year in my life. I've been able to change jobs to make my life more enjoyable, I've married a wonderful man who supports and loves me just for who I am, we've made a home together where there is love and happiness. I'm not going to try to live up to a resolution that seems too far gone..... dreams and goals have been achieved without me even trying.

Today.... January 1, 2007
I will make it my "resolution" to enjoy my life just as it is.
