Cheers to 2013!

Oh 2012, What a year.  I don't think I am going to miss you too much! I am looking forward to 2013 and hoping it will be a better year!

Cheers! My New Years bubbly!

2012 had its ups and downs. More downs than ups.  This year I want to try my hardest to make this year the best year yet! In the past I always make resolutions and never stick to them.  So this year I am making my non-resolutions:

 

1. Stop trying to care so much about a certain relationship. No matter how hard I try, that person just doesn't care as much as I. So I need to move on and focus more on bettering myself.

 

2. I read my bible last year, but not as often as I should.  My goal is to find a nice church in my area and read my bible more.  My sister gave me a wonderful devotional book. That will definitely come in handy.

 

3. Keep writing in my journal.  I think it really helps me.  I eventually stop halfway through the year.  Not this year, I am determined!

 

4. Take more little trips this year! Now that I am back in the Eastern part of the states I want to take full advantage of it!

 

5. Stop, and take time for the little things.  There are so many people I love who are not doing well.  I was so fortunate to spend another holiday with them. This year I want to focus on the little things and cherish each precious moment I have with them. Half the time I feel like my life is going by in a rush.  I don't "Stop and smell the roses" near enough.

 

What about you?

What are your Non-resolutions?
