So this is the eve of the new year,
and the night before the beginning of so many new things to come.
I generally don't make resolutions because I tend to break them the next day, some cases, the very next hour after making them.
I resolved one year to stop swearing. I failed at it within seconds when I stubbed and fractured my big toe on the end of the coffee table.
I took it as a sign to just keep being me.
Another year I resolved to stop smoking while I was smoking. I just kept smoking too. Heck, if I couldn't put the damn thing out while trying to make a resolution, what good was I going to be the next day?
This year, I resolve to become more patient, spend more time actually paying attention, open myself up just a little bit more to new things and to just be me.
I spend far too much time thinking about what other people think of me. Clothes, hair, attitude. I don't care what others think of me but I spend far too much time giving them my time if that makes sense.
Rude comments left will be ignored, I'm done wasting my time on negativity. I just have so much to do and so much to look forward to that I don't want to waste a single second of it letting the negativity of others invade me. Trust me, I can be pretty damn negative without anyone's help.
So there ya go, that's what I plan on doing for the new year. Not really resolutions, more like plans. I'm a better planner than I am a resolution maker anyway.
Happy New Years everyone and please, if you are going to be on the road tonight and you're drinking, check to see if AAA has a Tow to go program in your state, it's 1-800-AAA-HELP here in Florida.
Later days!
