New Year, New Attitude...

Happy New Year!   New Year's has always been a weird time for me.  As a teacher, the beginning of the year is fall to me, but I try to use the New Year as a time to think about the past year and how things are going.  Do I need to change anything?  Is my life as peaceful (which has always been the goal) as I'd like it to be?   What can I do to change it if I need to do that?

A couple of years ago I resolved to embrace the Amie--all that makes up the crazy that makes me me.  It was the best year of my life.  I learned so much about myself that year. This year is going to be the year of YES.  I will tell myself yes, especially when I resist.  Do all the things I want to do but won't for whatever reason.  This also means  being able to say NO to other people, especially when I feel obligated (that is a really ugly word, isn't it?). 

I am definitely going to do more blogging this year, as I have discovered that this is the way I gain personal insight.  If you ask me, everyone should blog, because I know a lot of people who need personal insight.
