The New Years Rings

We totally missed the New Year!  SLEEPING! 

We had a spur of the moment get together the next evening which turned out to be a lot of fun!  Our neighbors and Reagan's friend Abby came over!  This night we stayed up until midnight!!

The new year is off to a great start.  We sold our house in the middle of all the end of year chaos and are working on getting a new one.  The packing begins.  I am loving cleaning out and throwing old items away!  So relaxed and enjoying not having anything to do or places to be unless we want to!

Reagan had her first gymnastics class on Saturday.  She LOVED it and sooo did I!  I went that same day to a small photo class to get a few tips on my camera :).  Can't wait to take the editing class that teaches how to work with photoshop!

So what about new years resolutions?

1.   Get to the GYM
2.   Eat better
3.   Surround myself with people who treat me well & make me smile.  Push away all the others
4.   Stay on top of laundry & dinner meals
5.   Go to the gym
6.   Go to the gym
7.   Watch more reality TV.  HaHa
8.   Save more money
9.   Play more with my kids
10.  Be more open & honest with my feelings.
11.  Be careful not to hurt others feelings or say negative things .

We all have our bad moments of frustration.  Sometimes our emotions are directed at others when it has nothing to do with them at all.  (that's when we take it personal).  We shouldn't criticize other's negative behavior when I am SURE we have had an episode from time to time, even if no one witnessed it!

People just seem to forget the last time they exploded in frustration but sure do want to bad mouth someone else for it.

Know when to apologize.  One of my beefs is when someone is in the WRONG and never acknowledge it or apologize for their behavior.  They just move on LIKE IT NEVER happened.

We don't forget how people make us feel. 

When someone hurts my feelings or makes me feel bad,  I never forget it & have a hard time forgiving it.  I put up a wall.  Then they never apologize & just go on like it never happened...  I don't forget.  I need people to say they were out of line and let's get through it and move on!

I don't bash people.  But when you are around people who do it,  it tends to rub off on ya.  Very contagious.   They say misery loves company.  Those people flock together.  So you have to distance yourself.

That's my soap box and new yrs resolutions
