A New Year.... New Beginnings

Okay, so here is the first blog of the year 2011... thats right, it's 2011... on a side note, Isn't it funny how back in the 90's everyone was sooo sure we'd have flying cars and hover boards by now?? Boy were they off...

Anyhow~It has been a really long time since I had posted anything, However, I was balancing a big move several adjustments, as well as other pressing issues which can cause a gal to go Bananas!!! Lol....

So here's the deal... I heard sooo much talk of New Year's Resolutions, how people plan on bein better & things such as that. I couldn't help but find myself somewhat amused as a family member of mine ~ (Who we can just call Aunt Sally in the interest of keeping her identity somewhat secretive) made the same unrealistic resolution to go from I don't know, like a size 16 to a size 4 by spring... now bear in mind that my attempts of being supportive were minimal, but let me state that in my defense, Aunt Sally has had the same resolution for like half a decade now, and she's one of those peeps who wants the results without putting in the work

Ive told Aunt Sally that maybe if she would skip the syrup smothered pancakes every morning & have a yogurt once in a while, she might actually get those results... ~~~~ (to my dismay, and judging from her current identical resolution, she never did heed that advice)

Truth is, ~ Nearly everyone has a cooky aunt and all I'm sure, but at this point, My aunt probably takes the cake... Or in her case, the whole bakery... Lol, Jk 'Aunt Sally' Jk (The window was open and I had to throw that out there) I wouldn't give her such a hard time about it if she weren't so often giving others noise about how they look... Seriously Aunt Sally, no ones listening anymore...Lol

Please keep in mind that this is no way intended to offend anyone at all I'm going somewhere with this I promise... and just to clear the air,

" Aunt Sally " was sitting adjacent to me as I told her point blank: "I'm totally gonna post a blog about this conversation!!

............ she merely laughed about it and said "Go ahead"... now not that I technically needed the O.k., Aunt Sally didn't have to tell me twice!...

-- That being said, Here's my point --

We all have things we'd like to accomplish, and we probably all made a New Year's resolution, but truth be told, How often do we really see them through??? If our goal is to lose weight in the upcoming year, we cheat one time, and count it all as lost... if our resolution is to be a better person, and we lose our temper at some point, we give up and stop trying.... We're only human, and rather than just be ridiculously hard on ourselves with unrealistic aspirations, why not cut ourselves some slack and understand that even if we stray off our desired course, who the heck says its wrong to simply get ourselves back on track and continue on to the best of our ability....It's important that we see things through, because tomorrow is never promised to anyone, and we shouldn't mess up once in our resolution and think "Oh well, guess I'll try again next year".... we should bear the mentality that we should never put off until tomorrow, that which we can do today...

So don't become an "Aunt Sally", see out your Resolutions and goals for 2011!!!,

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

You want to be a better person- Do it... You wanna become a size 4 from a 16- Do it... (Now realistically, it's not likely that'll happen by spring,-[Healthy anyway], but you get the idea) Don't hold back, give today your all, cause you never know that you'll see tomorrow~

It's 2011 people, and since according to the space cadet Mayans, were all gonna die next year, we could at least finish the resolutions that we start with right?? --- You know... since those Mayans know so much and all....Lol Jk JK

Best wishes on whatever your 2011 goals and endeavors might be.... keep God in the center of it all though, and there will be nothing you cannot accomplish!
