I am not the superstitious type. I don't believe in Karma. I walk under ladders, black cats cross my path, and I never watch where I step as far as cracks are concerned....
I don't believe in New years resolutions. I fully believe we should always do our best to be our best and strive to fill God's purpose for us in our lives, ALL YEAR LONG, OUR ENTIRE LIFE LONG. I won't get preachy... That's just not me.
I do my best to do my best and My best is the best Me I have, and maybe... just maybe God can use me for something greater.
I live with the pre-conceived notion to try not to judge others, treat others as you would want to be treated, Love your neighbor (and no a "neighbor" isn't just your next door neighbor, a neighbor is anyone who inhibits this place we call Earth, I did say that as TRY right? I mean gesh no one is perfect.)
I am not a linguist, I don't write beautiful poetry or have an extremely large vocabulary. But I am by far not a simple minded individual. I may be from Texas and my accent may be thick, therefore I may sound ignorant or stupid, and I may screw up my words from time to time when I talk, or sometimes I may not make sense, but I am a COMPLEX, and great minded creature. And if you pay close enough attention you may find that out for yourself.
I never ever let others influence my decision on people, places, or things. Seriously. You may get me to try a recipe, visit a location, or talk to someone, but every one's experience is different, and I respect that, and expect the same. People talk. Not always is it true.
I refuse to let others change me! I am me, accept me or don't. I value others opinions, but I don't let them define me.
I may not wear name brand clothes, or live in a fancy subdivision, have an I phone, or whatever may be "in". But don't discount me as poor. I'm not. I'm rich beyond your imagination. Maybe not so much in monetary value. but in the value of family, friends, and heaven I'd consider myself the richest person there is!
I am a classic. "retro chic"... everything that's old is made new again. That's my style. SIMPLE yet fabulous. And I'm sticking to it!
I am NOT a supermodel. I will never be a supermodel therefore I will never look like one...I accept that. <---- this has been the hardest thing for me to do,and sometimes I need to be reminded that just because I'm different, doesn't mean I'm ugly.
I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. I don't believe in the perfect manicure (I can't even paint my toenails perfectly.) But I love the beauty in nature, and am at peace with a beautiful yard and therefore manicure be DAMNED!
I love being girly, going shopping, getting my hair done, the colors purple and pink, jewlery, princesses, hearts, flowers and butterflies, and all of that stuff. But as a mother of boys, I've learned to love catching frogs and lizzards, and reciving muddy kisses, dirty handprints, lizzards in army men tents (for real)... building forts, and gun noises with spit included, and playing superheros. After-all the imaginations of my children may be the only mark I leave in this world. And to me thats the best gift I could ever give this planet!
I don't plan for a certin future. I strive to obtain small achievements toward a better life for my family. I believe we all could have a better life.
This year I have made it my mission to reaquaint myself with myself. Somewhere I lost focus of me and all that I wanted to accomplish with my life, and was just humdrumming it through life living from day to day like a bump on a log. I lost my voice in the day to day. (no not my physical voice, my inner one)
It's monotonus and easy to do. Trust me. It's hard having beliefs and sticking to them. Accepting others decisions when you haven't fully accepted your own. And generally being happy with who you are and all your best qualitities. You are more valuable than you know, You are more loved than you can imagine, and if you can look in the mirror and say I matter then and only then can you find your true self-worth.
After a lot of prayer, I woke up one morning and realized what I was doing wrong. That very morning, I started my new attitude, way before the new year, and have made some huge phenominal changes in my life, I'm still happily married to my husband, with 2 amazing children, but I have changed. ME. and when I changed ME my world fell into place. So with the start of the new year I am refreshing my new attitude.
~HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS~
