My new year resolution (or lack of it)

It's new year, it's time to reflect on what we have done the previous year and set new hope for the new one.
Naaaahhh.. I don't think so.
First of all, I make no resolution this year. Setting things that you fail miserably over and over again (due to lack of commitment or strong will or whatever it is you can name), simply makes me feel awful. Well, to say out loud that it makes me feel like a failure is rather scary. I don't want to see myself as a failure, and I believe I am not. I just, that: I lack determination. And I don't want to scare myself anymore.
Second, resolution is like a promise: don't make a promise you can't keep. Well, since I don't want to be promise breaker, especially promise I make to myself, I decided to make none. Safe, isnt'? Cowardice, too. Whatever.
So, this is what I'm gonna do: instead of making promise, I'll set myself to try to do things. These are what I'm gonna try:
  • I'll try to be happy in every situation, no matter what (= to see the positive things out of everything)
  • I'll try to be thankful to God, no matter what
  • I'll try to listen more and speak less
  • I'll try (this is really heavy for me, that short-fused lady) more patient
  • I'll try to assume nothing
  • I'll try to be best friends to my kids
  • I'll try to be as honest as possible - not that I am a liar
  • I'll try to spend less for my enjoyment but still enjoy my life with what I've got
  • Would I dare to say that I'll try to be more committed to religion? Guess not yet.. but I won't close the window of posibility. There's still 362 days left of 2006 (provided that God let me live throughout this year, which I surely pray so)

Okay, the list is long enough. Enjoy... dear friends.

LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH
