As 2013 is about to end everyone is making their resolutions and hoping for a better year to come. Reading statuses like that only frustrate me because you can’t let life pass you by as you HOPE for something to change. YOU have to MAKE that change. If you want a better year, make it a better year.
Instead of making a list of things you want to change (which for most people it ends up being a list reminding them of their failures) why not just actively, every day, work on a better you? I know it is easier said than done but the results are priceless. A happier, more enriched life is worth the work. I know from experience because for years now I have been working very hard at being a better me and making a wonderful life for myself. It’s paying off. So, on that note, I want to take a moment to count my blessings from 2013.
On new years eve 2012 I set out an empty mason jar that I would use to place notes in throughout 2013. I did just that! Now, in no particular order, I am going to pull each note from the jar and remember why 2013 was a good year. :)
