Its been a crazy life changing 2010 for me and my family. The one great thing about life is no matter how down or low your life might be at one moment, you will be able to look back at those horrible moments and see that you are standing on the other side. Now, it's how you are standing on the other side that makes you release those" burbs", "farts", "slips", and out right falls that happen in life that give you the hiccups of life.
For awhile, I let a medical condition, a feeling of failure, and just plain out negativity towards my self and some people that did me wrong, get to me. I found myself walking around with these things that literally weighed me down.
Then one day I was sitting with my dogs and saw how easy and wonderful their life is and it was like I got smacked upside my head. I came to the realization that you absolutely hold the power to your life and how you categorize events that occur, good or bad. Dogs get up every morning and have a smile on their face just to see your face. I thought well shoot if their that excited to see my face, then their must be something with it.
So, yes I went to the mirror starred into it and said, "well hello there lady, their seems to be something good in their somewhere." I'm not joking when I say I did this everyday for about a week and what ever came to my mind I wrote it down in my journal. As the week went on things started to get progressively positive. What I came to was that my life and who I am and how extraordinary of a family and dear friends I have are in my life because I have chosen those things to be there. You ever heard of birds of a feather flock together? Then I can honestly say that my peacock feathers are mucho grandiose! I can't express how much I adore and love my family, friends, and animals. My life is filled to the brim, and I will just let it over flow as 2011 comes.
I wanted to just give a few goals that I will be accomplishing for 2011
1. Talk positive as much as possible! The second I feel the urge to be negative, I will stop and think of my dogs and if I have to I will roll over and sleep! LOL!
2. Fully enjoy and be aware of moments that occur, good, bad, or indifferent. And enjoy them for exactly what they are.
3. Unhook my eyes from the darn television. I have found that my addiction relates to tv, I can just crash not think and become a zombie when watching tv. NO BUENO! Even though I don't watch as much as a lot of people do, I would prefer to cut it out all together. I have a feeling nursing school will help with that :^)
4. Be the best person that I can be for myself, not for anyone else. I know you are probably sticking your finger down your throat right now saying gag me already, but naner...naner it's my goals, get over it!
5. Figure out a balance in life and everyday activities.
There are a couple more but I will leave those for PRIVATE!
I really hope that everybody has a great night, a fresh start, and an extraordinary year! Hope everyone has someone as special as I do to ring in the New Year!
Luv luvs,
Mae
