New Beginnings

A New Year! A New Beginning! I don't believe in resolutions. I believe in change but I feel that change should be made as we realize there is need for change. What does a new year have to do with that? Every year I wish the same thing. To be more organized, to finish what I start, to exercise more, to live more...etc.
Every year I break those thoughts within a few weeks in because life just doesn't work that way. Life is hectic to say the least. We do great for awhile and then things get a bit behind and were throwing paperwork in boxes because it's piled up so much that we just feel overwhelmed to file it all. And that's when it crumbles. From that point on to the end of the year it just spirals downward.

I decided this year I wasn't going to make any resolutions. I just want to strive to be my very best in all that I do. I also decided that I wasn't going to be so hard on myself.
Life is a gift and I sooo get that. I'm just going to wake up each day thanking God that I'm still here. I'm going to hug my children and my animals more. I am going to be thankful for all the good in my life and even all the bad in my life. I consider it all a blessing!

It's okay that I'm late on things and that I don't finish everything I start. That's the creative mind at work. It goes from one project to another as it see's fit. It doesn't have rhyme or reason, it just has passion! Motivation? HA! That's another word that's thrown out into the world. You can't be motivated without passion.
Today, I live my life the way I want to--not the way someone else wants me to.
 I think I'll be a better person for it!
