I don’t usually make New Years Resolutions. I always break them.

I am going to call them my goals for the New Year!

1. Stop making excuses for not eating right and not excercising! This will be my most difficult as I am the Queen of excuses!

2. I will not let other peoples negativity affect me! I have done this alot this past year, mostly with my job. I can’t change other people, I can only change myself!

3. I will stop making excuses for finding a better job. Although I love my job (just not the work environment), I need to find something that pays better.

3. I will spend more time with my grandaughter Mercedes! I want the relationship with her I have with my other grandchildren. The problems with my son and his ex g/f have nothing to do with me. I cannot change this, I can only accept that this is the way things are.

I have decided to live by this poem. Most of you know it. I only knew the shorter version and I found this on the internet, and I would like to share it.

SERENITY PRAYER
(long version)
(see:The Origin of our Serenity Prayer)

God, grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change Courage to change the
things I can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as the
pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this
sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make
all things right if I
surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy
in this life, and supremely
happy with Him forever in
the next.
Amen

I hope you all have a wonderful New Year!
