HAPPY NEW YEAR

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! What are your new years resolutions? Have you made any yet? Well, this is the first year since I was born that I am NOT making a diet resolution. Yup, no more.... I'm going to lose 20 pounds by my birthday. No more...I need to be a size 8 by July. No more....Washboard abs by summer. NO MORE, NO MORE! I REFUSE. I have changed my thinking and here are a few of my thoughts.




2008 new years resolutions.
  • I will help 1 person in need each week.
  • I will be a happy and fun mother....no matter what.
  • I will be a good wife by saying and doing good things.
  • I will eat healthy foods.
  • I will do my best at whatever event I enter.
  • I WILL LOVE MYSELF FOR WHO I AM!
Every new year, we make resolutions. It feels like getting a new start on life. We're full of hope and anticipation. But, year after year, the same thing happens. Within a few weeks, it's all gone the enthusiasm, the hope... Once again, the new year resolution has fizzled out. And we feel deflated, sad and guilty: we broke our promises to ourselves.

Research shows that half of the people who make good resolutions at new year have given up on them by the end of June. It doesn't matter what their new year resolution was -- to diet, to lose weight, to exercise, to sleep better, to work better... whatever...
Now, that was the "glass is half empty" perspective. The "glass is half full" perspective is that half of the people succeed. Which half do you want to be in?

I WILL SUCCEED this year! I am feeling ALIVE and ready for the world. COME ON BABY.....bring it!

Hey Heather-
What an awesome attitude you have! I admire you and you have inspired me to be more positive. I love all your pictures, it looks like you are having a great time since you have moved north. Come visit me next time you come way down south o.k.! Can we still have a girls night out or something?
