New News...Good News!!!

After almost 8 years, Derek and I have decided to call it quits...I know this is probably shocking to some of people, but it really is for the best. This was a mutual decision, and it really wasn't a surprise to either one of us. Our relationship has hit a plateau...We want different things in life. Derek doesn't ever want to get married or have any more kids. I do...I want to get married, and have babies???? Maybe! Right now, I am still staying at his place, just until I get my ducks in a row. Then I will be moving into a place of my own. I have never not lived with someone, whether it was mom & dad or a boyfriend, I have never been on my own...Sounds funny to hear a 29 year old woman say that, huh? But, I am really looking forward to doing the whole independent thing...At first I thought I would be scared, but the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of doing my own thing...Having my own place, my own stuff. I guess for a long time now we both knew this was coming, it was just that neither of us had the courage to say it. The best thing is that he and I will always be very close friends!

Resolutions

I know I’m a few days late, but I’ve been giving a lot of thought to my New Years Resolutions…Originally I was only going to have 1 resolution and that was NOT to make any resolutions. I know a lot of people who use this excuse…but I think this is a regrettable resolution because this implies that these people have no plans to improve.

Why do I think people have given up on resolutions? Well, for me personally it was because I became discouraged by my past failures. But, were my past resolutions really resolutions at all? Or were they wishes? For example, “This year I plan on losing weight.” But really my heart was saying, “Wouldn’t it be nice if I lost weight? I hope I do.” That’s not a plan; that’s a fanciful dream…no wonder I failed…and when my resolutions came tumbling down, all I had left is disappointment and broken promises.

So, I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to make a resolution and that is to make a commitment…a passionate plan. I am going to be passionate about achieving my goals and come up with a plan on how to do it…this year it is not going to be something that merely happens to me…Rather, I am going to make things happen. I am in control.

Will I resolve to become MORE than what I am today or will I resolve to become LESS than I am capable of becoming?”

I am going to be as specific as possible…not just say that I want to lose some weight or drink more water and less diet coke…So here are my resolutions for 2006:

- Lose 10 lbs by April 29th 2006 by eating healthy and exercising everyday
- Drink at least 1 gallon of water each day
- Drink less soda, only 1 diet coke per day
- Enroll in and complete 2 college courses
- Cross at least 4 things off my list of Things to do Before I Die

Now, I just need to come up with a plan...I realize that I can not accomplish all of this at once, so I will be patient, focused and persistent. I am sure that there will be bumps in the road, but I will not get discouraged, I will just pick myself up and continue…
