Resolutions

A New Year! Not quite a new me though. My resolutions aren't all that ambitious and I know that that 20 pounds won't go anywhere, just like it didn't the last 3 years in a row. It's kind of hard to keep resolutions don't you think? You make them and then realize, hell, I'm really not going to change. You have to make a decision to change your state of mind before you make that decision to dedicate 6 days a week to eating healthy and working up a hideous sweat. My resolution was to go to church more. What did I do on Sunday? Stayed at home and read a devotional. I guess it's a start. I played on my laziness. Laziness due to the fact that I spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday painting our office room in order for us to add a few extra bucks to the value of our home. Selling our home was not on my resolution list but with the way the world has decided to work, we may not have a choice. That's another story for a different day though.
I would like to change my state of mind though and be a better person inside and out. I do want to be healthier, more successful, and I want to make the people around me much happier. I want to find a way to make a difference. Maybe going to church shouldn't be my only resolution. Maybe I need to seek out God a whole lot more. It seems like He really is the only way in which my life will be complete. No amount of money, talent, success or friendship has filled that hole that I always seem to find in my heart. I guess that's where my state of mind change should start. Find God, find that path to happiness. If doing everything He tells me to do is what makes me happy then so be it. I don't think I have met to many people yet, with a strong faith in God, who are constantly disappointed.

Happy New Year and here's to you and your resolutions. May you stick to them . . . This time. =0)
