New Years.
It is a time to change your life. It is a time to start over. This is the moment you relinquish all that is bad from your life. This one day takes your half empty cup and makes it half full. A fresh self, past erased, beginning & future anew. Nothing matters because it all starts now, this one day, January 1st. Every year begins monumental and with hopes, dreams and tasks in place. There is a plan and a driving force. The momentum of this one day in 365 days of each year is insurmountable.
Typically I fall in and get trapped into this New Years Resolution bandwagon that seems to leave the station of lost hopes and tired souls of the year 20andwhatever it happens to be at the moment. Though this year has yet to trap me into making promises to myself I know I cant, wont, and don’t care nor dare to keep after the New Years hype wears off in 10-20 days in.
{Ok, well I did make one but I knew that was far-fetched and pretty much impossible…I burnt my tongue on coffee {Res. being to patiently wait for things to cool} with in 5 days of the New Year…or possibly even that first morning of 2012!! I am impatient, there is no surprise there!!}
That being said I am happy with myself for NOT falling victim to the Resolutions of the New Year. Now this is not just my boycott to the New Years tradition of pledging for a better you in the New Year. This is my realizing that I am happy. I am happy with myself and the flaws that make me unique. I am aware that it is more beneficial to me and those around me to do and not say. The moments that I have encountered entering into this year have been nothing short of ridiculously amazing. Which leads me to believe I am doing just fine without making any resolutions at all. Whats the point of setting yourself up for disappointment when you realized the goals you set were most likely more than you could chew. I would love to know the number of resolutions that go untouched or have been failed each year. That would be interesting to me.
It is amazing how free your soul can feel once you let go and let things just happen. It tends to surprise you just by its simple complexity in nature.
My life. My daughter. My past relationships. My current relationship. My old & new friends. My forgotten moments. The moments that make me smile. My lessons I learn daily. My walk with God that strengthens every day. All of these are exactly where I want them to be and are on track to take me where I need to go. I would not change one thing on how they started, happened, or ended. They brought me here to this moment that leaves me completely and utterly in awe and humbled ….and happy. This place I find myself is just beautiful♥ and I would never wish it to be any different!
{Sometimes you need patience in order to find true happiness. It won’t come fast and it won’t come easy, but it will be worth it.}

You are amazing in so many ways, not the least of which is somehow hearing my thoughts as I ponder when your next post will arrive. I was about to post a friendly reminder on your previous post to get it in gear. Freaky!
I absolutely agree with you that you’re doing just fine the way you are. Nothing wrong with resolutions, but living your life the way you should, whether it’s Jan 01, Apr 01, Oct 01 or any other day of the year is the only thing that matters. Deal with the mistakes along the way and don’t put off the remedy waiting for the excuse of a new year.
If the occasional coffee on the tongue incident is the worst thing you have to deal with this year, congratulations. You are right where you need to be and doing just what you need to do. Welcome to 2012 Brandy. You are amazing.
Ahhh my sincerest thank you!!
