Happy new year!!
We are beginning a new year and what better chance to reinvent ourselves? Over time, making these new year resolutions have become a part of me. They are like markers for my journey through the months, nudging me in the right direction whenever I feel lost. I have picked up new stuff, focused on my positives and learned to let go when I should. That's the power of words.
So, let's do the ritual one more time!
Highlights of the previous year.
1. We bought a new car. It was so out of the blue, almost an impulsive buy.
2. Singapore vacation. Finally, the five of us went on a holiday abroad. We had so much fun!
3. I got promoted!! I find it hard to believe that I have been working for 8 years now. I can't fool around anymore. I am a senior. No longer the spoilt brat of the team (actually, that part doesn't change :P)
4. Now, the big one. We bought our own house!! I thought this will never happen.
I have so much to be grateful for. I have done well financially. My family and friends have been a pillar of strength during all my tough times. I hope I never let them down. Here's what I have planned for the days ahead.
* Be more active socially
I find life so much better when I am on my own. But socializing is important too. It gets the mind out of the rut.
* Read more, craft more
This is a forever goal. I plan to create a reading and crafting challenge to keep myself motivated.
* Set up my room
I get butterflies whenever I think of this! It's going to be so exciting :D
* Shopping!!
I think I have scrimped and saved enough. This year I will value quality over price. Also, I am dying to own something from a luxury brand.
* Perfect the smokey eye look!
I can do my make up fairly well. Getting the smokey eyes right is a bit of a challenge. This should be fun :)
* Stop hoarding
Seriously!! Repeat it a million times.
* Fight negativity
Easier said than done. Often, we ourselves hold on to the hurt. If something is affecting your peace of mind, get rid of it. Few minutes of courage and days of perseverance is what it takes.
* Which country will it be this year?
How can the year be complete without a vacation abroad? :P
I have spent three decades putting the important people in my life above me. My nature is such that even love feels like a debt. I am at a point where I don't feel like that anymore. I have done as much as I can without holding back. I don't have to worry about my dear ones anymore. I will always be concerned about their well being but I am no longer responsible for their happiness.
A year of no regrets is what I look forward to the most.
