It's Almost New Year's Resolution

I was reading an article about a woman who is a single mom. All of her married friends call her and complain about how their husbands don't do things the way they want them done. The woman was saying hey at least you have a husband! This made me think... I don't often appreciate the good things about my family. So I am resolving from now on to think before I complain. To not get upset needlessly. To remember what all the person does do when I am faced with what they are not doing. I know I use harsh words and words have staying power. I want to bring that down. It has always been in my nature to exaggerate. I make mountains out of specs. I want to bring that down as well. Even if I think a story needs more to make it better I will resist the urge. I will fight that need to impress or to make my life seem wonderfully exciting. I will practice living in the moment and being happy. I will push through my fear of the medical profession because I love my family and friends and want to be around them for a lot more years. I am really excited about 2009 more than any year in the past! I feel like this is my year to JUST DO IT!!!
