A Transition From 2012 to 2013

2013 arrives next Tuesday, along with the number of New Year's resolutions people work hard to achieve.  I haven't made a resolution in years, because I knew I would break them once the words left my mouth.  Instead, I decided to make goals for myself throughout 2012 that I want to actually carry out.

  1. Not wanting to keep up with the Joneses.  I decided in 2012 that I will not worry about what a person had, nor will I get jealous when someone gets something I desire.  2013 is the year I get to achieve the things I need and want in my life.
  2. Letting past situations go definitely.  I spent too much of 2012 wondering about stuff that had happened in the past, and not focusing my attention towards the future.  I won't allow myself to think about what could've been and what if such-and-such happened.  It's the past, and I want my future filled with opportunities and a thriving life.
  3. Knowing who my friends really are, and who weren't. Although I wanted my thirtieth birthday to be a special event for me, I had a friend that didn't come through for me, for reasons that seem suspicious to me.  This same friend turned around and invited me to her birthday party.   I turned her down, and I let it go. My male friend invited me to go Christmas shopping. I told him that I refused to come his way for shopping, especially when he refuses to come my way.  He then changed it and said he wanted to go downtown, something he didn't tell me beforehand. I still said no, and I let ti go. 2013 will be the year I stay distant from them, and only hang out with those who actually want to come around me.
  4. Becoming more of a money honey, not a broke joke.  I just have to be more vigilant in saving money for the things I need, and to have a rainy day fund.
There are more I'm probably forgetting. I'm trading in  my laptop for a few books to read on this Christmas Eve through New Year's.  I'll be back for my year in review on what I have accomplished, and what I can improve on in my life.  Happy Holidays!

Love,
