I have made a few resolutions for next year, and I have decided to start them in December, because I just can't wait any longer.
My resolutions are:
1. Get FIT! I'm going to keep losing weight, and I am going to get where I have always wanted to be! I have already found so many different people that have done exactly what I am doing. It is so inspiring and it keeps the little voice in my head telling me, I can do it too!! I've finally figured out how to go about this in the right ways, and I have finally found my determination to keep on keeping on!! My mom has always told me that as I worry about what I need to worry about, things will fall into place. I firmly believe this, and so I am doing what I need to do!!
2. Write daily in my journal. Whether it's big or small, do it! My daddy said something to me at the beginning of this semester that has really stuck with me. I was telling him about going dancing with a friend, and how I was so nervous because I had never been "dancing" with a guy before! He laughed and then said, "You should write that in your journal so you can always remember it, it'll be fun." It really hit me. I don't write in a journal. I mean, I have a spiritual journal because I figured I should only keep track of the "important" things in life. But really, there are things I want to remember, things I want to look back at and laugh, and all this "growing up" stuff has really made me stop thinking of just myself. I realize that one day I am going to have a husband, and then before I know it I'm going to have kids!! I want my kids, especially my little girls, to be able to know what their mom was like when she was their age. I want them to know that Mom went through the same things they are going through. My favorite thing is to hear stories from my mom, my grandmas, my aunts about their childhood and their teenage years. So I know that my kids, if they are anything like me, will enjoy it as well and I just don't want to deny them that. So I am going to be faithful in my journal writing! Who knows, maybe I'll even have written about the moment I fell in love with my special someone, and they will enjoy reading it too. ;)
3. Be grateful. Be grateful for everything. I haven't shown my Heavenly Father enough how grateful I am for the copious amount of blessings that surround me each day! I need to take time to realize the small things and be grateful for them. I mean, when I stop and take a look at the things surrounding me I am just so blown away at all the beauty I have been missing. I don't want to miss anymore! My plan is to find at least one thing everyday to be grateful for! Hopefully this will help me grow in many different ways. Because truly, I am so unspeakably grateful for all that I have and even all that I don't have, and I need to do a better job of showing this gratitude to Heavenly Father!
So here you have it my lovelies, these are the improvements I am making in my life and I really hope that you too are making the decision to make some improvements in your life! Why wait to make an improvement you have been wanting? Start today, and realize that you are worth the change! You deserve all the wonderful things that you have always dreamed of. You are the only thing stopping yourself!!
Well, til next time my friends!!
