A new year. Most people make new year resolutions and goals that somehow with the flow of life end up on the back burner. Im not a resolution kind of person. However, I do think new adventures, goals, and challenges are always positive. So...Im starting new.

1. Be happy.
Regardless of the day, challenges, problems, people, and whatever else life throws at me I need to be happy. Never go to bed without a smile or being thankful for one positive event in the day.

2. Remind myself of who I am.
Never say never, but never let those around me get me down. Coworkers, family, friends, patients, random people on the street. I need to be me and Im gonna be me.

3. Make myself happy.
Lose weight, eat healthy, find love, get into graduate school, find an apartment, make enough money to pay my bills, move out of my parents house, get a good job. These are all goals I have for myself that I think are going to make me happy but I have a feeling that I need to make myself happy internally and these things will fall into place.

4. Make someone smile everyday.
Anyone I meet, as long as I can make one person smile or laugh then I have made my day worthwhile and I am satisfied.

5. Keep God close.
I don't want to lose sight of him or all that He has blessed me with. So through my singing, church attendance, prayer, and daily devotionals...I will keep Him close to me at all times through all things. "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me"


So....a fresh adventure. Here we go. :)
