I am really not one to make like solid resolutions – but if I’m being honest – from early 2020 up until – what??? 4-5 months ago-life truly was as shit show of a dumpster fire of WTF!!!!
So – I said to myself “Self (and I knew it was me because I was wearing my undies {bada ching}) let us make a few achievable resolutional (new word) goals.
Here we go.
- Moisturize – my daughter gives me shit all the time about dry skin -so I will make a concerted effort to do so.
- Per the above – use a mild SPF in said moisturizer – apparently it won’t hurt
- Get more rest- and this does NOT just apply to sleep – take some time to let your brain be still and breath and focus on relaxation (so like ya – this is going to be a tough one for me)
- Eat better – I say this every year and every year I don’t but I have recently gotten into veggies and legumes I would not normally eat soooo – just don’t ask me to eat fruit – not quite there yet.
- Eat more fruit – OK OK I’ll try!! FFS stop nagging!
- Do one selfless act a day – I can do this – contrary to popular belief – I am actually a pretty selfless person – most people don’t get to see that side – but it’s there and I’ll try and let it out more to the masses.
- Be kind – see above – I really am not the bitch some people think I am – no really!
- Be patient/have more tolerance – yep – this is a “twofer” – patience while it may be a virtue – it has eluded me for years – mostly because in my past life (over 20 years ago) I was not allowed to have a voice so when I found it – could not shut that F’r up – so yeah.
- I could say stop caring what other people think but I simply have not since I found that voice so ya sorry – oh look I achieved one!!!
- Stop buying clothes – gurl – you do NOT need any more clothes – like seriously!!!!
- Per above- clean and purge your damn clothes – if you have not worn it in a year – donate or gift!
- NOTE the above two do NOT include shoes/boots or footwear.
- Get off your fat scared ass – grow a pair and ride more!! You love to ride- you just need to stop being a wimp about it- it’s not too hot or buggy or cold or rainy – stop it!! stop making excuses – saddle up and find that passion again.
- Learn how to apply liquid eye liner – that bitch still alludes me.
- Curse less (ya ok – I’ll try)
- Spend more time with people who matter- more lunch dates.
- Set boundaries- oh shit – this will be hard – glad it’s at the bottom
So – there they are – I am sure there will be more as shit pops up – but I think that is a solid foundation to start eh??
Happy New Year my friends – we have been thru hell and back these past couple of years – but I want to say we came out smiling and maybe even humbled in how fragile we really are.
I am a truly blessed human being. I have a family who loves me and I love fiercely – my most amazing grand children who light up my life every friggin’ day!! – a great job – a roof – food – an outstanding partner in crime in Hubs who puts up with my shit EVERYDAY (he in himself deserves the most accolades) and an amazing group of misfit outcast friends – some of who I interact with face to face and some who I have never met but cherish deeply.
Onward to 2023 – let’s rock this bitch!!!
