Bright and Shiny

That’s how I feel about every new and that’s how i always hope to feel. I like to think that when a new year begins all of the struggles and difficulties from the year before will be swept away. That’s not how it happens. There is so much hope and positivity will the feeling of a new beginning on January 1st, but it is impossible to forget the things that brought you to that point. Thank goodness that means that not just the negative remains and that the good can shine through. The bad is there to teach you life’s lessons and remind you to be grateful for the good. The good is there to keep hope alive…something that I find absolutely necessary. On that note, here’s to hoping my resolutions for 2012 will come to fruition.

I resolve to be strong: work out a reasonable amount of times each week.
I resolve to be healthy: drink more water, eat more fruits and veggies, eat less fat and sugar.
I resolve to be smart: read 12 books this year (1 per month ideally).
I resolve to be happy: be grateful for what I have and dwell less on what I don’t have.
I resolve to be motivated: do what I want to do and follow through, but be flexible with change.

I have chosen things that I truly want to work and things that I can envision accomplishing. I want to set myself up to succeed and I truly hope that I will!

Lots of Love,
Kara
