New Year's Resolutions

I know that everyone (okay, some people) make new year's resolutions. I'm not going to. Well, maybe to either use my Y membership or cancel it for good. I haven't been in months and don't see any time slots opening up in the near future. Anyway, I don't have any bad habits and don't feel like I need to change my life - I love ME. Really, I do. People think I'm crazy that after the recent events in my life I remain so positive. It's a choice. I chose how I feel. I'm frustrated by people who say "you made me sad/mad," "you hurt my feelings," etc. We ALLOW ourselves to be hurt or be upset and I say don't let others step on your life buzz! It may be my two brushes with death in 2007 (the lightning strike and the car accident) that have altered my perception or it may be a Lori thing. I was pretty damn resilient right from the beginning when I came into this world.


I sound like I'm on a soapbox today, sorry folks!

In closing, I guess my resolution is to keep the smile on my face, the love in my heart and beautiful thoughts in my mind. I hope the same for each of you.

Happy New Year 2009 - may it bring you everything you desire.
Love, Lori

  2. I was lucky to have 6 days in the hospital saying goodbye to my wife. You didn't get any time at all. Keep the smile, keep the positive outlook, you are an inspiration to us all.
