My Holidays

I realized that I didn't post my Thanksgiving entry, so I shall do so now. I know that it has passed but I started to write it and I have the right to post it. LOL! I will place it behind a cut though so if you don't care you don't have to read it. :P.

( Thanksgiving )

( Xmas )

That was pretty much Thanksgiving and Xmas, now on to new years.

New years was spent at home. It was decided we wouldn't go out because it was supposed to be so cold and the windchills were supposed to be around -20 or -30 below zero. i don't know about you but I don't like the idea of being out in that freezing weather. So, after work we went to Cub and picked up some snacks and the boys went and bought the alcohol. I didn't drink as much as I did last year, man that was one nasty hangover the next day. I swore to not let myself get that drunk again, and I haven't to this day.
Mike ended up going to bed before midnight because he was not feeling well. I was on Team Talk With Doug and I'd like to thank him for sitting with me because i wasn't sure how bad things were going to be between Mike and Flint's drunkenness. i did end up drinking a bit more than I wanted but i only got buzzed, not drunk.
Dinner was Pizza Ranch, they have some awesome food!

This brings me to today! I'd like to say, HAPPY NEW YEAR! We've made it to 2013!
In light of it being the first of January I'd like to share my New years resolutions with you all.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS...

First and foremost, I'd like to find peace, the peace that i know resides within myself. The trouble is, I'm not sure how to obtain it anymore. I used to but too much has happened and I just don't know how. No matter what and no matter how I will find it again, I must find it again.
This to me is the most important new years resolution I can make and stick with. I believe some of the others in my list will tie into finding that inner peace I desperately want to find.

1. Eat healthier
2. Start singing again
3. Drink more water because I don't drink near enough
4. No more pop
5. Get back into writing my poetry
6. Finish writing an entire fanfic
7. Start working on my novel.
8. Save money.
9. Get a dog
10. Visit my family more especially now that i have the means to do so
11. Write in my journal more often even if it's just to say high and i'm still alive
12. Be a better friend to others by being around more than I have been
13. Meditate more
14. Become more intuned to my surroundings, nature
15. I will not take things so personally
16. I will laugh when I can, cry when I feel it's warranted, forgive those who have wronged me, find the strength to accept the things I cannot change and change the things I can.
Last but not least, I will live. I will live unless the Goddess says time to go.

I know this seems like a lot but these are things i need to do for myself. I have felt like I have bene off balance for a long time now and I need to get that back. When I feel balanced, i feel better. I'm much happier and much better to be around.

Some of you may not understand my resolutions and I know some of you will, I know those that do will be there to help guide and encourage me when things seem like I'm getting off course. For those who are, I deeply thank you in advance, I am most grateful to you.

I don't ever make these things as I have a very tough time sticking to them, however this year will be different, I know it will because this year I am extremely determined and nothing and i mean nothing will stand in my way.

I hope you all had a very happy New year and may 2013 be your year!

"So mote it be!"

<3Love and hugs to all<3
