Yup, it’s a new year, yes, everyone is talking about their
resolutions…I don’t do resolutions. Resolutions are too easy to break. One slip and it's over and I join the statistics of failed resolutions. I don't like being a statistic.
Goals on the other hand can be fought toward, if you slip up, the next day is a new start toward your goals.
I have joined the Portland Fighting Fillies, a full contact
women’s football team. I have joined this team with a few things in mind. I
have thoroughly missed the atmosphere of being part of a team. There is
something to knowing that the people you are working hard with will have your
back no matter what. And these ladies are tough! My goal with joining this team
is to get into shape so that the next time I run the ORPAT I will not end it
gasping like a dying fish!
I will get a new job. I have enjoyed my
break from work and have been able to get myself into a better head space than I have been in a long time. I am feeling more confident, more mentally strong
and more willing to take risks.
And finally, I have the goal of being happy and content, of looking for
ways to make a difference in people’s lives and finding ways to get out and
enjoy life. We live in a cool city, we are young and now have time to have a
bit of a life! I’m excited about where I’m at.
Happy 2013 to you and your family! I hope you each have an
amazing lucky 13!
