Moving on

When a New Year dawns people vow to instigate change to improve their lives. In the past I’ve cited old chestnuts like quitting smoking, losing weight or finding a better job, but this year my intentions are new. I’m moving on with my life.

“You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It won’t happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, ‘I don’t care how hard this is, I don’t care how disappointed I am, I’m not going to let this get the best of me. I’m moving on with my life.”
~ Joel Osteen

These are my intentions for 2016

• I will reject rejection
• I will forgive others and myself
• I will sever contact with people who cause me pain or anxiety
• I will live by the words of Eleanor Roosevelt “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
• I will speak the truth
• I will say no if I want to
• I will expect to receive the same respect I extend to others
• I will embrace and remain true to my introverted personality
• I will continue to live a simple life and be grateful for all I have
• I will continue to love and cherish my husband and children in the only way I know how, unconditionally
• I will accept my feelings and actions as the whole truth.

Happy New Year
