I woke up this morning thinking about that day when I walked on my own to the local starbucks to wait for my sisters to be ready. 2008 had been a difficult year for the people around me and myself... the reasons were different, but the gauge of tears had been overused. The morning was cool, and the streets were empty (what would you expect from the first day of the year?) I had my copy of "The shack" in one hand, my grande coffee in the other, and pounds of thoughts occupying my brain. I sat there, thinking about how different I wanted this year to be.
I took a pen from my purse and my starbucks napkin and wrote my new years resolutions. I gave myself 5 minutes to write what really mattered without thinking too much about it.
I am going to share this, because I feel proud of what I have accomplished so far. I'm not finished, and somethings I won't do, but it's nice to be breathing again.
- Read the bible every day, meditate, and live it. (mmmm ... oops... I have tried! I'll keep trying)
- Become the lead teacher/have my own classroom. (tears... I did it! I did it! I couldn't have done it without so many people. They saved me)
- Read the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri (I'm not finished with it)
- Write more - philosophies and thoughts (I'd had a blog for the past 2 or 3 years and I had never written enough. something always got in the way. I'd had journals filled with notes and songs but never completed... So I've been writing wherever I can , whenever I can and I love it.
- Run a marathon... (I'm still a little bit scared of training...for health reasons)
- Be patient with my parents (I have! I've done it! It's not so hard )
- Judge other relationships less. (give me credit... it's hard not to judge couples that are little PDAers and GROPERS)
- Get to know two members of my family a little bit better
- Give second chances..
- Believe in people
- Live and Love EVERYTHING
I gotta hand it to me... I think I've done a good job. :)
