I have only one simple resolution this year. Be happy.
I spent a good deal of 2015 being unhappy.
I was unhappy at my job. I was unhappy with my situation with my daughter. I was unhappy with my health. I was unhappy with how clean my house was. How my son did/ didn't do things. And oh so much more.
The thing is more often then not, I could have changed the thing that made me unhappy or upset. It was quite possible for me to be more healthy, remind my son of his chores, clean up something in the house that bothered me and so on and so on. Often though I would just wallow in it. I would make excuses why things couldn't change. Some pretty lame ones to such as,' Well I worked all day at a job I hate. I am to tired to do anything about this.' That is my most popular excuse.
Followed very closely by, ' Well if they truly care about me they will take care of it.' Very dangerous thought by the way since honestly most of the time they don't feel the same way about the situation as I do, and don't even realize how I felt about it.
So instead of playing the helpless poor victum, I will start actively doing things about it. If something is making me unhappy I will change it.
I have already taken the first step. I accepted a new job. This new job will alow me to be home in the afternoons so I can actually help my daughter with her struggles at school.
This one is a pretty big step. Most of the changes will probably be small and I know I will have set backs, but that's ok. As long as my general attitude changes I am good.
Here is to a better, happier 2016
