Happy New Year!!! I must say my first day of 2010 has been fabulous. Started the year with some good friends at a little warehouse party and spent most of the day watching college football with friends I hadn’t seen in a while. One of my big resolutions for this New Year is to have a brighter outlook on life and be more positive. So far, so good! A friend of mine mentioned a book on her blog (petemas.blogspot.com) called Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie. After reading the excerpt, I knew it was a book I needed to read. The book is actually a collection of daily meditations. Hopefully I will be able to keep up with it daily and it will provide topics for reflection on future blog posts.
So many of you who know me, know how much I was dreading New Years Eve. It is the most hyped up night of the year and usually ends up not being as much fun as expected. Recently I haven’t felt like doing much of anything and since I haven’t been drinking very much, parties with a cover charge just seemed silly. Luckily some friends came up with an alternative . . . low key, BYOB, warehouse party. It was brilliant! I had a fabulous time and can’t believe I ever wanted to stay home. The company was great, the food delicious, and the location perfect. It was the perfect start to my 2010.
Well as it is January 1st (and basically the activity for today’s devotional), I guess I should make my 2010 Resolutions.
1) Take the “glass is half full” approach to life and be more positive
2) Finish my running class and finally run that half marathon I have been talking about for a few years
3) Be a good friend to those who are important to me
4) Stop trying to control every aspect of my life. The Big Man upstairs has a plan for me. I need to put the control in his hands.
5) Give back to my community by getting involved with a charity
6) Make sure to make time for myself every week
This year is going to be great. Who knows, maybe I will even find my Prince.
