New year. . . New thoughts. . .

I haven't done too well at keeping up on here, that's for sure! Well, 2012 is hear and in full swing! I started it out with a bang of being in bed with the flu before midnight of January 1st even arrived. The first week of the new year was a tough one for me, especially when I had created expectations of some fantastic entry into a fresh beginning. Emotions were running high, expectations weren't being met, and it seemed like one thing was happening after another. Thankfully, that's not the end of the story, because God is faithful and was not far. He was there with me, the silent strength, just waiting for me to call out to Him. Thank you God for being ALL I need! 


Life has gone back to "normal" as far as routine. Back at work, back on schedule, back to my goals for this year. With God's strength I know I can make this the year a success! I'm tired of making excuses and choosing laziness over success. I want to be the best version of me that I can be. True happiness really does come from the inside and works it's way out so you can share it with others. 


::Goals for 2012::
1. Reach my goal weight
2. Send a thoughtful card (1 a week) to a friend this year
3. Work on becoming a person who brings out the best in others, not critiquing or talking negative.
4. Entertain my talents & hobbies. Make time to do them.


This will be a year of a lot of change! Some changes will be hard to learn how to accept and others will be very exciting! I am looking forward to what God has in store for my life! Thank you friends for being loving, supportive and encouraging! I truly appreciate you!
