New Years Resolutions

The wrapping paper is gone, the Christmas tree is gone, the New Year is here and we have or are still setting our goals for the year ahead. We are looking back to see what we did not accomplish in the past year, and if you are like me, you just have to pick up the old list and start over.

I keep telling myself from year to year that I will accomplish what I set out to do. This year I did not promise myself anything, I told myself I will move forward one day at a time. I will make small goals to reach everyday. And hopefully I can achieve some of the small goals that will eventually by the end of the year be part of the goals I was trying to set out to do for years.

The world will not seem so overwhelming; I just have to keep reminding myself “One Day At A Time”. In the past I have always allowed myself to be distracted, and I am slowly trying to put a stop to that. I can not reach my goals if I don’t make the small changes within myself; I am learning to say “No”.

I wish for all of you that have set goals and have not accomplished them to be easy on yourself, very few people reach their goals. Count your blessings and move on. One of my goals I did set out to accomplish this year is to make a trip to California. I have a dear friend who lives there and I haven’t seen her two children since they were really young.

I have seen pictures of the children as they were growing, and now are all grown up. I have spent the past years worrying about them, being happy for them and sharing every part of their lives that my dear friend shared with me. I would like to hug them in person, to hold more then just a picture.

California here I come! (Even if it’s at the end of the year, I want to make this trip!)
