New Years Resolutions!

So we're here. It's 2008 now...

At the beginning of every year, I always feel the same thing. I am hoping that this year will bring amazing good change, financial security, an achievement of dreams.. but most of the time, it doesn't.

I'm still wishing for the same though. My 2007 sucked. I mean it had major good things obviously with the birth of Lyric, travel, etc. But boy was it crazy... you couldn't pay me a million dollars to endure again some of the stuff my family and I went through together, but I have to trust the Lord that it's for a purpose, though we still don't know what that purpose is. It's been a re-shifting to say the least. An exposure of true motivations. We've learned who friends are and I think that's a really important lesson to learn.

I've never been one to hold grudges. It's never been worth it. But for 2008, one of my resolutions is to let go of my anger. Not because it's justified, but because being a bitter woman isn't something I want to be.

I also want to lose that last 9 pounds and get my stomach flat again. I'm starting yoga twice a week on January 15th, so I'm hoping that takes care of that.

I want to work less hours a week. Right now I'm away from home 45-50 hours a week for work. I want to somehow change that, although I have NO freaking idea how...

I want to get on a budget in 2008 and stick with it so we can build back up our savings.

I want to finally graduate from College! I'm so stinkin' close!!!

I want to write a novel.

I want a new laptop to replace the one that was stolen in 2007.

Overall, I want change and direction. PLEASE GOD!

So those are my resolutions. What are yours??
