Day 202: Not to Resolve Anything

I'm just going to put out some goals that I have for 2010. Making resolutions is like dieting, and so I refuse to do that! I think if you have goals, you make a plan for those goals, you will achieve them instead of running full speed, cold turkey, whatever at the start, and then allowing yourself to drift away. At least, that's what I am likely to do if I make a resolution to change anything.

I'd rather just make a focus on what's important to me, and set out to make it happen.

2009 you were a pain

In my neck that I did gain.

From you I cried

More tears for loss

Than any for joy

in laughter I crossed.

I will not beg

For time not had,

But for better days

To erase these sad

Memories burned

in the darkened depths of my heart

My soul. 2010,

pray resilience through my strengths

to impart.

1)We will have a baby on the way, either through natural means or adoptive intervention.

2) We will move into the new house we hope to call our home for many years to come.

3)I will complete my Bachelor of Science Nursing degree.

4)I will be fitter, stronger, healthier than I was when I first met my husband 7.5 years ago.

5)I will say goodbye to my beloved and youthful 20's, and move fitter, stronger, healthier, and wiser into my 30's.

I will not only pray for these things, but work to their ends. Looking at the bigger picture, it doesn't matter how long it takes, but these things, this year, is their natural time to come and I'm looking forward to devoting all my energy to accomplishing these goals within my own world.

The world can mean every being working together as one, and the world can mean your centre and what you project out. I'll end here with one of my favourite life guiding perceptions that will anchor me in reaching my goals for this bright new year:

"You must be the change you want to see in the world." Mahatma Gandhi
