The New Year, a New ME

Jan 06, 2009

Well, it is 2009, the year for me.  My main goal is to reach my goal weight by the end of this year.  But I am also looking forward to becoming a better person all around.  My personal growth over last year was amazing.  I found out so much about myself.  I found out my dad was not as bad as I thought; that my mother really messed me up; but forgiveness is serenity.  I cannot forgive them face to face, but I can in my heart and mind.  I can also forgive Gary.  With a better understanding of me, comes a calmness I have not experienced in a very, very long time.  I think I am scaring people!!  Things that I was holding on to, angry about, no longer seem important.  What is important is recognizing that I am not a bad person.  That genuinely, I am good, and worth working on.  So, 2009 is my year.  I will be more aware of what I eat, and how I eat.  I will drink my water, take my vitamins and calcium.  I will exercise.  I will be more aware of people around me, and how their actions relate to me, not how I think they relate to me.  I will not sweat the small stuff.  I will love my family, and allow them to love me back.  I am worthwhile.  I am beautiful, in body and in mind.  I am strong.  I will no longer allow people's ideas, thoughts, and visions affect me the way they used to.  I will be more understanding, less sarcastic and defensive.  I will walk and talk softly.  I will find joy in the little things life offers, and reveal in the smile of my grandson, for he loves me unconditionally.  I will be more patient.  I will smile, laugh, and not be afraid.  I will not fear the things that I have feared most in the past.  I will approach everything head on, and will not shy away.  I will work hard, and play hard.  I will be good to myself.  I will not get angry, unless anger is the only way to resolve something.  I will try new things, and not be afraid or ashamed. 

So this is the new year, and the new me.  I only hope I can accomplish all of my wants, as well as my goals.  It is a daunting challenge, but I like a good challenge.
