MORE..My New Years Resolution

Happy New Years!! I am starting off this year with a bit of a hangover and a lot of love. I had a couple friends and family members over last night, and I gave them all a chalkboard pen and asked them to write there New Years Resolutions on the Wall. I started off with "Walk 500 Miles." Let me just say I think these things are lame, and unrealistic but silly and fun at the same time. And I love that people do make Resolutions and work to complete them. I for one know I never finish anything so why even start. Yes I am pessimistic and yes I am alright with that.  Anyway I wrote that because I actually do I have a goal I set with Mondo that I would get out and walk/run a lot this year so I was gonna set that for 1000 but I decided to be real to myself.  So I set for 500 but I also wrote that on the wall because I in case you don't know think I am pretty funny. So with that being said sing with me.... "Aaaand I would walk 500 miles, and I.."Get it. Haha yes I know I am the only one laughing here but that's ok :) you are now stuck with that song in your head for the day as well. So there it was my one little goal.
This morning I came to the wall and was reading every ones resolutions and thinking of them and how they will probably all do these and they were all pretty realistic and as each person wrote I could see them thinking about yes I need less stress or I want to do this to make myself proud, and then I realized it might not be such a silly thing but maybe good motivation and at least positive thinking for the moment right?

That's when I looked at mine. Yeah haha and yeah I am going to do that goal, but what do I really want in my own life? I want MORE.. not more money not more materialistic things but just more good. More things that make me feel good.. I want to..

Cook more...less eating out because I enjoy new recipes and having the kids taste test and having my neighbors taste test as well. I also love that the kids help and learn with me.

Blog more...I love the feeling of getting stuff out of my head onto paper or the computer. I love sharing things with others I love keeping a journal of wonderful memories and some maybe not so wonderful but the writing has gotten me through it.

Breathe More.... I spend so much time angry on edge stressed out unhappy for no reason. I want to just breathe for a bit and do that often and let shit go.

Get out more....oh boy I love love love love nothing more than sitting in my home doors closed shades drawn. Does it make me feel good? No it never does. When I do finally get out I am so much happier, I need that for myself.

Love more... I think I am a pretty lovey dovey person but I am also an asshole at times too and can be selfish. I don't know why I am like that but its not very nice. I love hugs. I love loving people. I love telling people I love them so why not love more?!

Listen More... This is a biggie this is one I may have the hardest time doing. I am not going to lie.  Mondo is my best example as are my friends I am sure. I interrupt I constantly give my advice when I should be just listening. I want people to listen to me so why do I feel the need to do this to them. This is something I just want to do because I do love listening and I want to be there for everyone but I need to realize I cannot fix every situation for everyone like I think I can. So I must really listen more.  My kids my husband and my friends need that from me.

Give More....I think I am a giver but I feel like maybe I could give a lot more. More time, more help more anything, more love.  I just know that life to me giving has always made me feel so much more happier than getting. And I really want to give more.

Bring on 2016!
