Who hasn't made a New Year's Resolution? I dare you to say that you have NEVER made a New Year's Resolution. I've made them...and I've never kept one. So did I even MAKE one this year? I've joked to friends of mine that my resolution this year is to rid my life of idiots...but that I've already failed because I've proven to be an idiot myself.
There are so many things I could change about myself, and my life. But do I want to? I'm happy with myself, I'm 100 million percent in love with my husband, and my kids are the best in the world. Biased, huh? Sure, I could loose weight. That's the resolution I've always made, it never works. What has worked is acceptance. Acceptance of myself the way I am. I love myself the way I am, the way I look, extra poundage and all. And if someone doesn't agree with how I look, that person is welcome to turn the other way and walk out of my life because I don't have time for that person.
Then there's the resolution of improving oneself by way of more education, better job...whatever. Well, I just went back to work after almost 2 years of being a stay at home mom. I'm only working about 15 hours a week, and that's all I want to do right now, and I'm thrilled with my job. It's where I worked before I was a stay at home mom, and it just kind of fell into my lap. I couldn't ask for more there.
What else could I do? There's truly not a resolution I want to make. If I improve upon myself, it's because I just do, not because I force myself to make a resolution and stick to it. I'll just do things my way...like always. Because that's me. That's AMIE. :-)
