Change came; Time to Improve. Happy 2011!!

Here it is the holiday where you begin to think about all things that have occurred for the past 364 days. On some things you smile, on some you grimace, on others you cower, on a few you'll cry tears of sadness or joy. All in all it is the time where most of you forget to be grateful for all that has and has not happened. You'll focus on resolutions and changes and what you won't do again. These amendments you keep for maybe 3o days and those with "real will power" keep for up to 60!

I will look at this year as the year of improve. Every year seems to be the "year of change", Obama's camp only coined the phrase. I don't really want to change who I am and there are not many changes I want made in my life that can take place this year. Nope. All I want to do is improve who I am and improve my life so that I can make some real changes when the time is right. Focusing on so much change can't make too many changes. Face it, if you just improved the changes will follow.

It is so hard to change habits, jobs, weight, and relationships that the January attempts usually seem too far fetched and too far gone in February, while becoming a distant memory in March. By April it's picked up again (you know, so you can achieve it for Summer), but really starts on May 1st. In June you're working hard on it, by July it's too hot and you just want to enjoy the summer. In September and October you're too busy getting back into "the swing of things", in November the holidays. In December...you'll do it for the NEW YEAR.

There is only 1 resolution I have made this holiday. LOVED ONES. I will make a much better effort to see those I love. I'm seriously tired of saying and hearing "life gets in the way". What is life without spending precious time with those I love and have a good time with? Those that live only a handful of miles away! To those I love, I promise we will see one another in 2011.

And that I can guarantee will improve my heart. Happy Improve Year to you all.
