Mine are on loving yourself  still have more to add

Pen

Yup, that's a good one. I'm also going to watch how I react to situations - I'd like to take a deep breath and count to 20 before I freak  :P

my goal for 2010 is to do whatever someone/anyone tells me to do.  I'm so confused now I don't know if I'm coming or going.

Apparently, I've raised a narcissist and the DIL I came in here to discuss is not really the problem, the other one is.   What the heck?  I know I've got problems, that's all I know. Maybe I'll concentrate on making myself better?  :P

I will love myself more.  protect and nuture myself. Help people who are deserving.  lose 6kg.  start walking which I started this morning.  1 small holiday. learn latin dancing.  anyway I have heaps more on post  loving yourself

2chickiebaby

Okay, that sounds good.  I'll lose 6kg......what is that exactly? :-[

I dont know I still remember pounds  LOL  around 12 pounds I think

2chickiebaby

okay, I'll do that...and maybe I'll start walking and walk right across the state line and then across the country and for no reason at all, I'll turn around and walk back. 

And then I might invest in something, like a shrimp boat with my friend, Bubba and become a Gozillionaire and mow a lawn for free.  I might take up Ping Pong too and become a national champion.  That's all I want to say about that.

Oh boy that's a good one.

1.  Find a second job b/c the economy has pulled down my work hours.

2.  Get an adult female poodle with a good personality. (DH talked me into a poodle instead of a Shih tzu)

3. Send my non-confrontational letter to my MIL.  I finished the letter but have not got up the nerve yet to send it.  But I have to say it has taken a weight off my shoulders.  B/c even though its going to hurt to hear, she needs to know why we've pulled away.  DH has promised to back me if MIL wants to talk about the letter.  Then it will up to her if she wants to change the relationship and decide to accept me for who I am or continue being alienated from us.

4.  I want to snorkel again.  That was literally heavenly.  Please  try if you havent's and if you can.  But I have to get that second job first.

5. Continue working on exercising and taking my vitamins and continue changing my eating habits.  Which I've been doing this for some time b/c my blood pressure has been creeping up.  So far I've been doing okay expect when we go to Subway sometimes I sneak a couple chocolate chip cookies.

6.  I shouldn't have put this one last.  But I want to develope more Christian relationships and get back into church and reading more spiritual literature.
