In addition to Brenda's original list (those were great by the way):Stress - I plan to stop stressing over crap that is too small to really be worrying about in the first place.
Working on me - want to be better in everyway not just physically!!! Its a process no time to judge or be judged!!!!
WOW! This post is sooooooooooooo on point! Me and my huzzzzzzzzband was just talking about this very thing. We went to Watch Night at our church for New YearsEve, and we had a beautiful time just thanking God for all of our blessings. Well....the next day, both of us just sat down and had one of our 4 hour long discussions about, what else...money, self- doubt and self-worth, priorities and etc. I let out a lot of hidden issues that I had about myself, my ablilities, and just things in general that was hindering me from being the complete woman I need to be and I'm capable of being. Our visiting pastor for the evening said...."Don't keep your head down in 2009". I will hold my head up high, because I'm blessed. I'm going to disassociate myself with anything that comes from negativity. I'm going to take time for ME, because I always think about and put other people ahead of me. Ya'll....that's very stressful on anybody, and I refuse to do that in 2009. I love my huzzzzzzzzzband but he knows how I always put other people first, but this year, this month, I'm going to have "ME TIME" every Saturday! I can't wait!!!! That's my plans for 2009. Simple....yet....do-able! I had alot of emotional baggage as well, steming from my weight issue, low self esteem, jacked up financial responsibility, you name it. But the devil is a lie! I WILL NOT bring any of that hot mess into 2009. I had to let go of some stuff ya'll...let me tell you and it wasnt easy telling my huzzzzband, but I didn't want to have my marriage in turmoil because of my issues I kept deep inside. But when I finally admitted some things to him emotionally, I felt sooooo free. Communication is a wonderful thing when you have an understanding and patient spouse. Thank you Jesus!
