Well, here we are. 2012 has arrived and the end of the world as we know it is just on the horizon. Ok, now this is the part where I'm laughing my ass off! Whatever! We all know my theory on this end of the world crap. Not going to happen so please, get on with your life.
So, getting on with my life. What I would like to see for myself in 2012. These are not resolutions but more of a list of goals I'm setting for myself. Some will happen right away some may take some convincing.
First goal is to follow my budget closer than I have and save money every month, even if it's just a little because a little is better than none at all.
Second goal is to work on being positive. No matter what the situation I'm going to try to see the positive in it even if there doesn't appear to be one. I'll find it even if I have to make it up myself.
Third goal is to play outside more. Something I do enjoy but forget about right up until I get outside again. So once a week I'm going to spend time outside. Not walking from the car to the mall but really outside enjoying the rain, sun, wind whatever the day brings.
Fourth goal is to put my needs first once in a while. I'm so busy being a mom, a partner, an employee that I forget to be me. I forget to do for me what I do for everyone else. I need to regain who I am so when I am wearing the mom, partner or employee hat I will be better equipped to give and not feel lost because of it.
Fifth goal is to spend more time with my friends and stop making dumb ass excuses because I don't feel like being social. We only have one life and our friends are so very important in this life time it's a crying shame to take them for granted because one day they may not be there any longer.
Sixth goal is to make sure everyone I know, knows how much I appreciate them. I'm going to make sure I say thank you for even the little things. I'm going to let all of you know how much I appreciate all that you bring to this existence.
Seventh goal is to breath. Sounds odd? Well, even though it's a natural part of our existence I'm aware that there are times when I need to just step back, take a few deep breaths and relax. There are times in our lives when we are so caught up in the moment we forget to breath. I'm going to make it my goal to always breath.
So there you have it, my goals for 2012. There is only seven, each one as important to me as the next. I'm going to revisit this list in six months to see just where I'm at as far as attaining these goals. I will hold myself accountable for any misses and I will pat myself on the back for the accomplishments.
That's, how I see it.
Tammy.
