Today? Today, I give thanks that I was able to celebrate one of the best New Year’s vacations EVER!
Today is the beginning of a new year – today is the beginning of a new me…
In the months past, I had planned to start this New Year off differently. I didn’t think that I would be posting resolutions to lose weight and become healthier ---AGAIN!
I came to this realization on New Year’s Eve - more specifically, when someone pointed out their fondness of the shirt I was wearing.
What does this mean to you?
Well? What this means to me is that I was blessed to celebrate another ENTIRE YEAR of living (day in and day out) and what have I done?
Yes, I have done wondrous things and lived out some dreams and even shared my life with the entire world, but here I sit, about to write down the same resolutions that I have had since I began making resolutions – lose weight, learn another language and become a healthier and happier me – Twelve years in a row!? Oy!
Who does that?
Me.
I know they write and say that hindsight is 20/20, but really? In reality, I have had T W E L V E Y E A R S to make the same resolutions come true. T W E L V E Y E A R S people! Aren’t your resolutions really your dreams? Aren’t they considered the ideal of ideals of how you want your life to be?
And, I was given the time…
I. Was. Given. The. Time.
I read my shirt and thought to myself “What am I going to do with my life? Well? Apparently I am going to except my excuses and struggle with my weight and happiness, so that I can keep making the same resolutions over and over again…right?”
Wrong!
I declared in that moment – after some stranger pointed out the “saying”:
I will resolve to finally lose the weight I want to lose, learn another language and become the healthier and happier person that I am trying to be now – period. I will NEVER post these resolutions in a future year, because I will accomplish them THIS year – to last the rest of my life!
I will happily assume that I will be given another year to make them come true – I cannot wake up on January 1, 2013 and have squandered the time that was given to me - ever again!
Our New Year’s trip consisted of a 5 Star Hotel, Disney and Dreamworks Characters and events, great food, and the best of family.
New Year’s Eve – I accomplished 5 long, hard, painful and breathless miles – did I puke? Almost! But the spa retreat helped alleviate my stresses afterwards.
New Year’s Day – I woke up a different me - I spent the morning at the spa in the dry sauna to help detox the wine and previous year away and had a great trip home.
This New Year’s was the best I have ever had and IS the start of many more great adventures to come!
This is a new year…this is a new me.
