It’s not even a month yet and already most people have probably given up on some, if not all of their New Year’s Resolutions! For me, if I’d lost those 10 pounds each year I’ve resolutely resolved to lose those 10 pounds?? I would’ve disappeared by now. POOF!
This year I plan to not set myself up for failure! I learned alot in 2016. I learned that people I thought I could trust – don’t have my back. That doesn’t make me “less” trustful, just makes me realize that all those years that you heard the saying, “You can count on one hand the true friends you have”; it’s probably true.
I used to count the number of good friends I had by the number of Christmas cards I mailed out. Let’s just say that both numbers have been pared down over the past year. That’s not really a bad thing, gives me more time to concentrate on the right people for the right reasons!
You don’t choose the bad things that happen to you, but you do choose how you handle them. So in 2017 – as Charlie Brown says above, I choose to be happy.
Life will never be perfect, but this year I vow to make the most of it, and to be resolutely resolved to put happiness in my heart and a smile on my face.
