2015
Out with the old and in with the new! Last night a very lazy household passed the time together doing lots of nothing, eating steamed shrimp, pizza and veggies and dip and dozing. We did see 2014 pass and 2015 with a hoot and holler from my husband and then I was under the covers by 12:15.
So what was 2014 like for me personally? As I reflect, I think it was a year when I came into my own. I stopped worrying so much about the things that don't really matter and gave myself the freedom to say "no" or "I don't want to". I am someone who always wants to make things better for others and will do so at my own expense. This past year I was much better at saying "I need" and then following up with that. I learned that standing up for myself can have a very positive outcome. I learned that I cannot take away the hurts of my children or my husband and sometimes I just have to say "work it out for yourself because I just can't".
So what do I want for the new years? What do I hope that 2015 holds for me as I near and reach my 50th birthday? I want to lose weight and feel great. I want to be more organized in home, school and life in general. I want to stay ahead of the game and not fall behind. I want to make good choices and save money where I can. I want to always look for the very best deal and keep a running tab of what I do. In 2014 I saved over $3000 at ShopRite, where I do my main grocery shopping, and I vow to save even more in 2015.
In 2015 I want to be less impulsive and more impulsive, depending on the situation. I want to blog more often and journal daily. I want to have patience and display kindness even more than I have done in the past. I want to make my homeschool and daycare a fun and interesting journey for the young ones in my life.
In 2015 I will not only reach the milestone of turning 50, but I will welcome my third granddaughter. I will return to Disney World with my two sons. I will work hard at a new transcription job, but remember that I am only one person and can only do so much.
In 2015 I will...... Ah, that the beauty of a new year, isn't it? I will do whatever I can. I will experience both good and bad. Welcome the new. Say goodbye to the old. I will experience life to the fullest extent possible. I will love with all my heart. I will try hard to be the best me I can be. 365 days to write this new chapter in my life and I am ready!
