2011 Enjoying Life

Making New Years Resolutions I believe are a waste because by the end of January they are forgotten. What I am looking to do is enjoy my life every minute of it by simple loving myself. Per Merriam-Webster online dictionary resolution has a few definitions but the one that I think that fits this time of year of making changes or improvements in our lives is “something that is resolved made a resolution to mend my ways.” That’s my AIM for 2011 to mend my ways and improve myself.

The start of mend my way of yelling which honestly even I am tired of it which only causes to give me horrendous headaches. The children pay me no attention because they are used to me flying off the handle. What I will do is attempt to stop, breath, clear my mind focus on the issue at hand, and deal with it with out loosing it. Easy to say hard to do but that is my major change for my life not just this year. Step back from the madness and deal with life calmly and listening to what my family members have to bring to the table.

Embracing change with an open mind not all change is bad. At this point in my life I should be use to things quickly changing around me. It’s just sometimes it comes so unexpectedly or when I don’t want it. I have learned to embrace it more easily then I have before but I am still working on going with the flow of life. I do refuse to sit back and watch life pass me I plan on being a serious participant on improving how well 2011 will work out for me. Here comes the list of major things that I want to improve with me and what I would like to accomplish from start to finish. The list is famous in my household if it’s not on it most likely it will not be done.

Improve myself by presenting myself as an intelligent, beautiful, fun loving adult to the world. Fact my looks are about eight years younger than my actual age and my clothes sometime are that of starving artist does not bode well for being taken seriously. After having two little girls I dress for comfort for running around, cleaning, projects, cooking, and all the miscellaneous things that may happen during the day. I take to just putting on comfortable clothes, sneakers or the dreaded flip flops, cloths that are two sizes to big, and lets not talk about the hair. All this to say its time that I take control of my outer appearance even thought I really don’t give a damn what others think. I do want to present a nice exterior.

NO longer will I purchase beautiful things to be placed in my closet for that special occasion. In my life special occasions are far and too few in between. Everyday that I wake up is now a special day and I will make the effort to dress the part. My daughter prefers for me to wear heels so that I look more adult. I promised that I will by a few pairs of comfortable heels that I can walk in and leave a pair of sneakers at my desk for walking. I will find an easy and appealing hair style. Honestly I am just going to maintain my natural hey I love it!  

My life resolution is to love myself, laugh as much possible, eat health but enjoyable foods, and continue to walk, take time for me and enjoy my family. Life moves so quickly I see it when I look at my children. They do grow up so fast and if they are growing that quickly then I am aging and I want to sit back and see that I did wonderfully amazing things in my life. Bring it on 2011 I am prepared with the infamous list of things to do.
