Birthday Resolutions

T-Minus 11 hours and 10 minutes until my birthday. Time to get these Resolutions out there:

I resolve to. . .

*Become a healthier person, through diet and excerise-I'm getting back on Weight Watchers and I'm going to get my exercising done in the mornings. As an added challenge with this one-I've decided to give up fast food for YEAR. I really think I can do this. It's not even that good, you know? Just quick, easy, and there. (There is one exception: Grilled chicken salads. I figure if we are traveling or something and it is unavoidable getting a salad is the option.)

*Enjoy life more by being more agreeable, more laid back. Less quick to anger, less defensive-attitudes are contagious, I really believe this. I'm going to work on keeping my own attitude positive. It's so easy to take the bait and let other people bring me down. I'm tired of that. Optimism and looking for the positive-that's where it's at.

*Be a better employee, by trying to learn as much as possible and be more comfortable in this job-I don't dislike this job so much as I dislike it not coming naturally to me. It's WORK in every sense of the word. There are so many different things that we do-which is exactly what I wanted, less monotony. But that also means there are neverending things to figure out and learn. I want to learn those things, so that one day this becomes something I am good at, not something I'm struggling with.

*Help people in big ways and small-give blood, volunteer, food drive, donations, giving compliments, whatever I can think of. Helping people inherently makes you feel good. The world can sometimes be a crappy place and everybody needs a little help.

I was shooting for five, but I think these four cover it. Realistically, I have no idea what the coming year has in store for me. But, regardless, I want to make the best of it. Life is short. I want to spend mine having fun and being happy.
