My New Year’s Resolution

January 3, 2010

Happy New Year everybody! I have been pretty laxed last month with blog-writing. I have attended too many parties and drank too much wine last Xmas season and it’s now back to reality for me.  Like everyone out there, I have alist of my New Year’s resolution that I can hopefully accomplish. Hope this is not just wishful thinking.

1. Always count the small things. I will not take for granted the small things in life coz sometimes they are what can make me the happiest.

2. Don’t expect too much from others. It’s always better that way. At least you wouldn’t get disappointed when things don’t go the way you planned it. Often, the people who ended disappointing us the most are the people we expected to be there for us.

3. Spend more quality time with the kids. I have realized that Dylan and Dion are growing up faster than the blink of the eye. I will try to be more patient with Dion and more tolerant with Dylan. They are my life and I should be ble to show to them how blessed I am to have them in my life.

4. Always be there for my friends. I love my friends and without them I wouldn’t know how I would have survived the last quarter of the year without them. I may not say it often and it may not look like it, but I appreciate all the advices you have given me. There are some issues in my life that I need to work out on my own but I am really thankful for the friendship.  Likewise, always remeber that I am also there for you when you need it.

5. Always look at the bright side of life. From now own, I will always think positive. I will look at the glass and say it’s half-full than say it’s half-empty. Letting go of anger and past hurts will benefit me and not the others. I could never undo the past and there’s no use crying over spilled milk.

6. Give time for healing. I will take things one step at a time and I will always remember that in order for others to respect me as a person, I have to respect myself first. Respect begets respect.

7. Be decisive. I should not crumble or weaken at the first sign. I should go through with whatever decisions I made. It amy not look that way right now but whatever I ahve decided will always be good for me and the kids in the long run.

8. Most of all, I will learn to put God back at the center of my life. I will teach the kids to always have time for HIM.

Upon reading this, I realized tht the list I made are all about the things that could help me be a better me. I hope I will be able to follwo through on this.

According to fengshui and horoscopes, the year of the tiger is still not the year for me but I know it would be better than last year. =) No year could ever top the misfortunes year of the ox brought me.

Let’s start the year right everyone!
