Each New Year starts out with such promise for me. I reflect
on the previous year and try to learn from my mistakes and work on bettering
myself. I always want to make each new year the best one yet! I’m not sure if
it was the black eyed peas I ate on New Year’s Day, or the fact that I am
finally at a place where all aspects of my life are going pretty damn well, but
2012 was really really good to me! :) I have an amazing job I enjoy going to every
day, I am able to support myself without living paycheck to paycheck, I’m
blessed to have an amazing group of supportive friends and family, and to top
it off, I have someone amazing I get to share it all with!
So 2013, you have a lot to live up to!
At the start of each
new year I make resolutions that I say I will keep throughout the entire year.
Usually, I end up maaaaybe keeping one or two. I just tend to forget or think
of excuses as to why I can’t or didn’t do them. As I was writing them out, I
decided that I needed to make some that were definitely attainable, and some
that would challenge me. If I came up with all challenges, I knew that I would
quit or let myself down. So I decided to go find a happy medium with the things
I wanted to do or achieve in 2013. And by posting them for all to see, makes me
feel a little more accountable to do them. I’m going to be the optimist here
and say that I am going to keep all of these! I mean, if I can move to one
of the biggest cities in the world, not knowing anyone really, have no job, and
then have a year like 2012, I’m pretty sure I can hold up my end of the deal
when it comes to keeping these resolutions.

Great new years resolutions, S! I especially love the blogging more & the calling/catching up with friends. Which leads me to dinner... Are you free this week?! Call me! (and it sounds like I just awkwardly asked you on a date... which I kind of did.)
