New Year...New ME!!!!

Happy 2012! Hope everyone had a fun and safe New Year's. I babysat my loves and actually fell asleep before the new year (I'm so exciting sometimes)

Me and my Lovebug!

I'm really excited about this new year. I can just feel that it is going to be amazing! I look back at 2011 and can't believe how fast it has flown by. Seems like yesterday I was stuck at my parent's house in a horrific ice storm that shut down Atlanta for a week and to think that was almost a year ago!

Anywhoo! Here are my "plans" for the new year. God's probably laughing, but I'm going to try!

• Lose the rest of this weight. I've been lazy these past few months and with Christmas haven't tried at all, but I am determined to be a different person come this summer.
• Grow a backbone! I love being who I am. I love that I will help any friend in an instant and that people can depend on me, but something has to give. I stretch myself way too thin and need to be selfish. I have a feeling this may not go over very well with some, but I'm done. I've got to do this for myself.
• Work on my relationship with God. I found a great church that I was attending, but with the holidays, I slacked off. I can feel the emptyness from those weeks I didn't go. I really enjoyed going and am wanting to make this one of the priorities of my life.
• Find the inner peace that I feel like I've been missing. I've got to live my life for myself and no one else. I've got to stop thinking about what ifs and the future and live the present now! Life is short, I really need to enjoy every minute.

The theme to 2012 is ME! It is rare that I am selfish or am thinking about what is best for me, but I want this year to focus on me and make myself a better person. Some may see me as selfish and if so, then that is their problem. I haven't been happy lately with who I am in some departments and I want to change this.

So.....here's to the New Year. I hope it's the best yet!
