Fifteen Days

Friday, December 16, 2011
Another year has come and is almost gone.  When I look back on 2011 there is not much that I want to remember about it.  It has been another hard year in my life.  But a few special things I gained.... the sweetest dog, Sydney, has been added to my family and some pretty amazing people in life.

It is time to clean up my life... to shed away the hurt and the pain and the lost hopes and dreams, to become the person that I want to be.  Who do I want to be is the question that I must ask myself.

And here is the answer... I want to be....


  a Christian who is madly in love with her Savior.
a college graduate.
a first time car owner & debt free.
healthy.
confident.
a Certified Personal Trainer.
happy, joyful.
 
A different person than who I have become when I lost who I really am.

A new day and a new year means new beginnings.  I am ready to close the book of painful memories and continue with a new chapter in the book of wonderful times.

As I sit here looking at my Christmas tree and all the decorations all I can think of are the happiest times while growing up and decorating the Christmas tree with my family.  I look at each ornament on the tree and I light up from all the memories that come rushing back.  

I have realized this year that my grandma is  83 years old and I don't know how many more Christmases I will have left to spend with her.  I want to make her proud of me... I want her to see my walk the stage at graduation... I want her to see my children some day, but I don't know that it will happen.

2012 is going to be about living each day to the fullest!  Life on earth is short and the end is near.  I want to put meaning behind my life and make a difference in the lives of the people around me.

I am tired of seconding guessing myself, not having confidence, being unhappy, and saying I'm going to start living my life differently... TOMORROW.  I have learned that "tomorrow" NEVER comes.

Changing my life isn't going to be easy... that is why I need my friends and family to be there walking beside as I take this journey.  I don't want to do it alone... I have tried that for way too long... and I have gotten NO WHERE.  It's time to start.... right NOW.
