2009
Well, I have to admit...I'm terrified. And thrilled. And then terrified again. 2009 is here. I can't believe it. How is it possible? What will this new year hold for me and my family and friends? The only thing I know for sure is that there will be happiness and sadness. Joys and grief. Wonderful surprises and heartbreaking losses. High and lows, ups and downs.... you get my drift. It will be a year of everything..... just like 2008 was. And 2007. And all the years before that. I wrote a blog about my New Year's Resolution on my blogspot.

What about you guys? Any big resolutions for you? I actually HAVE decided that I need to make some changes in my life. One biggie is to simplify. I'm really over the whole "MORE!" attitude that our society seems to bang into our little heads. And I don't mean just material things. That's bad enough, to feel like you need more clothes, or cars, or a bigger house, or new furniture etc... I just can't take the pressure anymore of feeling like I have to exercise MORE, work MORE, eat healthier MORE often, drink MORE water, go to church MORE often, spend MORE time with friends and family, etc..... it's enough to make a girl like me shut-down!! I can't take it!!!!!! I'm not super-woman!! LOL I'm not saying that all those things aren't something that I'd like to do... they are all things I strive for, but geez...... sometimes I don't think I'm capable of doing it all. At least not do it all WELL.
Do I sound a little stressed?!?!?!?! LOL Anyone else feeling this way? Or do I need to up my estradiol intake????? :-)
I just re-read this blog..... and thought, "Well now, THAT was a CHEERY first blog of the year, huh?" I'm not as down as I sound.. just frustrated. And tired of pretending that I'm always cheerful, 'cause I'm not. I'm usually a happy, joyful girl. And I'll probably be back to my old self tomorrow...... but blogs are supposed to be about real life, right? And we ALL have days where nothing feels right. Everything feels out of sorts. Guess I'm just having one of those days. And it's only Jan. 1st!!!!!!! Arrgghh!! I better get out of this funk SOON, or '09's gonna be a LONG one!! ha!
Hugs,
Marcia
I never make resolutions, ever. Just didn't really make sense to me.
ReplyDeleteI did this year, and it wasn't really anything major that was out of the ordinary, but, I just made a resolution to start doing stuff I want to do, and not what everyone else wants to do, and stop trying to please everyone else.
(Though I DID say I wanted to do "more" with some friends) 2008 started off okay for me, slowly going downhill, and then just went nuts the bus wreck happened, and then being sick. If there's one thing I learned, it's how fast life can be taken away from you. I'd hate for 09 to just go by and have so many crap memories that I have for 2008.
