Resolutions & Such

This is the last day of 2008.  These are the last hours of yet another year. 

 

In looking back upon this year, as most other bloggers are doing I suspect, I can’t say this has been a fantastic year for me.  DH has been an asshole for most of it; I have been quite ill; we have had our house threatened; friends have gone through rough times; and the nation has practically gone to pot because of stupidity and greed of all of this nation’s leaders.  Yeah, not the best of years.

 

However, things could be on the up-swing for 2009.  There is a new leader in office, which could possibly help this nation.  I have made great strides in being healthier and better.  DH is always going to have his asshole moments, even months of it, but this is not ever going to stop me again from being happy, or as happy as I can possibly be.

 

I have not made New Year’s Resolutions in years and meant them, but for 2009 I am going to try my best and make serious changes in my life; good changes.  It was important to me in the past, when I was younger and far more wide-eyed at life, to keep each and every resolution made because I looked upon it as a promise to myself.  For 2009 I am going to do the very same thing again.

 

New Year’s Resolutions for 2009

1)      I am not going to tell one single lie, white or otherwise.

3)      I am going to get the proper rest I need regardless of what DH or anyone else says around me.

4)      I am going to start getting my body in shape so that by this time next year there will be a big difference in looking at me or pictures of me.

5)      I am going to be as serious about my faith as can possibly be.
