Is it too late for a New Year's resolution?

It's already nine days into the new year... We rang in the new year with a fight. Aside from my holidays bah humbug attitude, I managed to purge on Mike all the "stuff" I'd been bottling up inside. Poor guy. He doesn't know what hit him...as always. But after simmering in the smoke post battle, I've come to a few conclusions.

1. Whatever it is that makes me dissatisfied or unsettled (thus needing to voice my grievance) seem petty compared to many of the larger issues some people have to struggle with on a day to day basis. I'm thinking about clinical depression, loneliness, ADHD, social anxiety, etc. I have none of these (PMS doesn't count).

2. Ultimately, I have the power to change and redirect things affecting my life. I have choices I can make. There are opportunities that present themselves to me whether I go looking for them or not. For all of this I should be thankful. Amen.

3. My children and husband are the most important people in my life. They should feel loved, supported and cared for always. I cannot ever neglect that grand responsibility as a wife and mother. When my children are sought out, loved and adored by others, it is a direct reflection on how I nurture them. Same goes for my husband.

4. All in all, I have really nothing substantial to complain about. I just need one inspiring pick me up to point me in the right direction. I will pursue this. I will find something that excites me and begin my new project. I don't want to waste another day without a start.

SOOOOOO.....where does that leave me? I am ready for the new year...now. 2007 shall hold new adventures, new journeys and hopefully give me another year of meaningful growth and learning. I am open to seeing where this year will take me and my beautiful family. Life is good.
