2007 Resolutions
Well, it has been quite a while. In the past, I've posted my new year's resolutions, and also comment on whether I completed my resolutions from last year or not. I wanted to add it in here again this year. I'm not sure if anyone still reads this, or looks at these because it has been a long time since any of my friends on here have posted.... but I feel that in writing it down I will be committing myself to them. I had completely forgotten last years resolutions, and was actually pretty surprised with myself when I read them again..... to realize that I did pretty well on obtaining my goals. They were....
- Try to be on time for things.. not late
- Keep my life cleaner... not be as much of a slob
- Keep everything together in my life... be responsible and reliable
- Lose weight.. which is always one, but eh.. I want to.
- Keep my mind on my own business and not try to fix others problems.. I always get myself in trouble.
For the most part, I am getting to my things on time. I'm hardly never late to class or work, which were the things I was have trouble getting to in a timely manner.
I have taken a step towards being a little more clean, but I haven't accomplished it yet. Here's to another year.
I'm not sure if I am keeping everything together or not. From the outside, I probably appear as though I am, but it is as though there are always clouds in my head muddling out how clear things appear to be.
Lose weight did not happen... actually the opposite... my diet begins tomorrow, hence one of my new resolutions :).
I have stuck a lot to my own problems. I don't meddle with others as much as I used to. Although to replace that I think i've taken up and become a gossip.. which may be an equally negative trait.
SO......
My Resolutions for 2007
- lose weight
- get more organized
- speak less, listen more
- be less judgemental
- worry about myself ... what I do... and not put it into comparison to others. I need to live up to my own expectations not the ones that I see others setting for themselves
- try to be more humble
I am not sure if there is a limit on how many resolutions you should make but this are some good goals for me to try and achieve. They are things that I need to do, and feel like I need to do. Far too often I find myself silently reprimanding myself for actions that I've made... these resolutions can help set my mind at ease. :)

"If I had my life to live over, I'd dare to make more mistakes next time. I'd relax; I'd limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones.
You see, I'm one of those people who lived sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after the other, instead of living so many years ahead of each day. I've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute. If I had it to do over again, I would travel lighter than I have.
If I had my life to live over again, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dance; I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies. "
