Mom Coversations, and a New Life to Learn

During Christmas break I asked my mom about her New Year’s Resolution, and she told something that I thought was pretty interesting:

I’ve never really believed in New Year’s Resolutions because they all go like this: lose weight, be a better person, try harder. You know what? If you really wanted to do those things you shouldn’t wait to start changing yourself, if it’s really that important then you should just start right away. Waiting won’t help.”

I’ve never really thought of that, and I honestly think it’s a great way to look at it. You shouldn’t give yourself one last day of gluttony before starting a diet, or being a complete biyatch for one last day before you start your “nice streak.” I don’t think so. So I’m taking my New Year’s Resolution back. I started months ago, and I’ll just continue in my quest to be a better person no matter what time of the year it is.

Anyways, Happy New Year, and I hope that you all have a great 2011.

Last year involved a lot of drama, but I got back friends that I fought with and got rid of negative influences in my life, it was a pretty good year, but this year will be amazing. I know this year will involve a lot of planning, and love, and happy tears, but I can’t wait to go through with these big changes. I know it’ll only make my life better, yeah it’ll be hard to plan, and deal and start life, but as long as I have the people I love the most in my life I couldn’t be happier and I know my year will be amazing because of them.

Meanwhile, I have to say that I have some amazing people in my life, and I can’t believe how much has changed. I love you all, and I hope that everyone has a really great year. Make 2011 awesome, not because of your Resolutions, but because that’s what you want.

On a similar (ish) note for Christmas I got a Barnes and Noble card and I decided that I really wanted to focus and learn as much as I can about the Army and being an Army spouse. So I bought 3 Army books (Which I'll write baout when I get finish them) plus I bought my love a Baseball book to cheer him from his homesickness.

So I'll be reading up on that, and soon Josh and I are getting an apartment (as soon as possible) so that I can actually get a job and not sit here and be bored (because it really annoys me). Then once I get a job I can start taking some online business classes, and work, and we'll get a dog and start life together. Here's to beginnings and a new life to live.

Life is what you make it, so make it sweet,
