Happy 2012 Everybody!

Happy 2012 Everybody! (Year of the Dragon baby!)
I just know 2012 will bring much love and luck to my family & I. I can feel it in my bones. Oh wait..... that could be the pain in my legs from "BEASTING" at the gym.~as Rob calls it :) Whatever it is, I'm feeling good. So good in fact, I'm feeling a little ambitious? I've gone and made some resolutions this year which I never do.

1st, I'm going to keep working hard, even harder to lose weight by putting in 5 miles a day of cardio workout. And weight train for toning my upper body. After I lost 26lbs I've been at a plateau, it's time to up the routine I think.
2nd, I'd really like to make time for people in my life that we don't usually get to see all that much anymore. There are some really great and funny people, family, and couples in our lives whom I'd love to get to know better. Develop closer friendships. It's just time to branch out a little, I think broaden the horizon a little bit with variety. New conversations sound delightful for 2012.
*We've been blessed to have such awesome friends these past years and I love ya muah! I'm so happy in knowing you'll always be there, thick or thin. No matter what.

My hubby says to me yesterday; "Babe, I feel happy! It's so nice to feel completely happy." It truly is a serene, and tranquil feeling. The challenge is to maintain that feeling. Something not so easy for me, anyhow. I'm usually conquering one issue while slipping by on another. It's a constant tug and pull in my life. So I guess I'll continue to add that to the list of resolutions too.
3rd, To be AWARE of my mindset and keep some kind of happy balance. There are so many things in our daily lives that can throw us off track "IF" we let them. So I've got to remind myself of how blessed my life has been. The wonderful children that "bring" life into my day, the adoring husband that walks beside me through this life holding me up, my parents for being my rock always, and dear friends who love me for me and my multible personalities. ;) (Hey you get 2 for 1!) Gemini's are fun, you never know which one will show up. lol

And my last and final new year resolution is Forgiveness.
4th, I've started truly allowing forgiveness into my heart back in October. I no longer want to carry around sadness or regret, or anything negative that has imprinted on my life. No more... I'm done, and ready to move onward. I've learned letting go of the past is sometimes painful and very hard, but if I hold onto these feelings, it just drags me down. It wears me down. Sometimes people hurt you, it's part of the deal. Learn from it and grow stronger. My goal is to make peace with everyone I've had beef with at some point. I won't allow myself to be taken for a fool, but I'll finally be able to let go of some crud muddying up my zen :)
Ultimately, I will be a skinny, zenful, compassionate, great friend, mom, wife, sister, daughter etc.... by the time 2013 rolls around. haha
