Of course, there's always the same old resolutions. You know which ones: this year I'm going to eat better, I'm going to exercise, etc. etc. -- but I'm talking about the ones that are close only to your own personal heart.
Finding the Creative Me
I used to have such desire to cross stitch, decorating or changing the house, writing, or reading. Now those passions have gone by the wayside and taken over by too much work, or this needs to be done, or that has to be done. I regret allowing all the other things to take over the "creative me" and I vow to get some of that back. I want to dig out those all projects that were started and never finished, that half-read book laying on my nightstand, and get the words written down that I'm forever thinking (who knows what THOSE could turn into?). It's time to find the balance between all the work and chores that need done and getting to enjoy some creativity again.
Taking those chances
One example would be my regret at not going to college and taking those classes for the career I had wanted. I chose instead to "take a semester off" and never did get that opportunity. Don't get me wrong.....I love my life and the path it has taken -- but sometimes way deep inside you still think about the "what if I had done that". It's just one of those many things that you regret you didn't do when you had the chance. Then "poof" the chance was gone and you went a different direction. This year I vow to make some of those "what ifs" into "I dids".
Life is short -- we need to live every moment and enjoy every moment to it's fullest -- so that next year at this time you can honestly say to yourself that it truly was a "great great year"!
Happy New Year!
