Christmas is almost here. I can't hardly believe it. It seems just yesterday we were taking down the tree and now it is up again taking over my small living room. Now that I have completed my Christmas shopping and the Nutcracker is over I can sit back and think about the year to come and what I want to change or improve about my life.
As I reflect on this last year I find that I have spent a lot of my time doing things that I really didn't want to do, but as usual wouldn't say no. I spent most of the year so stressed out that it has caused me some pretty bad health problems. On top of that I have tried to hang on to several situations in our lives hoping things will get better. That people will step up to the plate and do what is right or what they are being paid to do. I have unfortunately found that for some people you could wait forever and this is not going to happen.
So what does all this mean for me and my family for the new year. Well, it means that we may not be the most popular people in our group, not that we ever were, lol. It means that I will say no, even if the other person or group doesn't like it. I will put the best interest of my family above all others. If this means changing certain situations in our lives then so be it. I want my children to be happy, heck I want to be happy. Not all the time, but most of the time. I will no longer be every one's doormat. And I will stand up for what is right.
This has been a long and trying year. I just want to make the next one better for me and my family. So as far as New Year resolutions go, I haven't come up with the exact wording of mine yet. It is a work in progress, but at least I have an idea of what I want to accomplish.
