NO MORE NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

We are now into February and I can confidently bet a lot of people that they have already dumped their New Year resolutions as quickly as they made them. I count myself among those people. Which is why I'm never going to make any going forward. I like me just the way I am.

The year 2009 was the year I resolved to make the love of my life happy - she's now more miserable than ever and I have got to hold my hands up and say it's because of, not despite me. That is a serious burden to carry. I try my hardest to correct the situation but it's like swimming against the tide. Now, I'm going to try no more. I'll just sit back and relax and see what happens.

I resolved to attend church more and play a greater role there but I have hardly been since the turn of the year. By the end of 2008, I was confident God was really pleased with me as I spent a lot of time with Him, in church and praying privately. Now, I'm not so sure. So much things going on around me.

Financially, by now I should have been in a space that could best be described as extremely comfortable, but I did not estimate correctly how long it will take to get me there....maybe six months to a year more, who knows? I'm not complaining as I'm doing exactly what I wanted to do and I am enjoying it. I should be doing more though but all in good time.

I resolved to go out less this year and spend more time by myself. Although I am doing enough of the latter, I still find myself going out too much for my liking...but all in good time.

For me, I've made my last ever New Year's resolution at the start of February 2009 and it is .....no more New Year's resolutions. Don't get me wrong, I'll still plan my life as I can see the benefits of this but I'll do this as and when the need arises and not on 31 December of any given year. I'm happy to be alive, to be healthy and to be doing what I want to do. I've got to be happy with that.

Oh by the way, of course God is pleased with me. I feel like I'm a special person to Him and I am yet to know and fulfil what He created me for....all in good time.
