New Year's Resolutions...revisited

So, after perusing a year's worth of blogs, I finally found them...my resolutions for 2008...here they are (as well as my thoughts and comments)...

to forgive
I forgave myself...for many things. For not living to my true self, for walking away from God, for doubting myself, and not standing up for myself

to find
I found God again...and many long lost friends :-)and I found me again (if you knew what I truly went through in 2008, you just might understand what I mean...only a chosen few truly know...)

to let go
I finally let go of "him" and the idea of what he meant to me...

to love
Unconditionally. I do :-) and to even entertain the idea of falling in love again. (i know some of you don't think I fell in love in 3 months, but I did...)

to stand
up for myself...I did! woo hoo. Sometimes, you have to. Sometimes you have to walk away from those who bring nothing but darkness to your sunshiny days.

to give
of myself. To my family, to my friends, to my coworkers and students, and to the community.

to pray
well, actually, to start praying again. like I said...I walked away from God. But He and I are BFF again :-) I'm loving my hour at the Chapel...look forward to it each week!

to honor
myself...To not do anything that in 20 years I might regret...in other words, if I'm ashamed of it now, I'd be ashamed of it then...and I didn't want that. To honor my family as well, for all that they have done for me. I think I've done that. At least I hope so. To honor my friends as well...I hope I've honored each of you...

to laugh
till I cried...and i did...MANY times. THANKS for the memories!

to not regret
I don't regret anything...any moment, any memory, any action.

to not hold back
and I haven't. ask me a question, and I'll tell you the answer :-)

to be honest
to each and everyone of you...in my thoughts and actions, in my conversations, and all aspects of my life. I have :-)

to live
life to the fullest...to be my truest self. to be my authentic self. I can say that I have!

Happy New Years Everyone!
