Resolutions! Mistakes!

I don’t think I am going to make any! I have been down in the dumps thinking about all my faults and all the things I would like to change about myself, and also thinking that I will never be able to change. I feel like I have been in a state of suspended procrastination since Christmas. I am avoiding doing what needs to get done. Just don’t feel like it. Avoiding anything unpleasant.
Enough is enough! This is a new year. No resolutions. But I am going to try to open my heart and mind and body to trying new things. Really try to be as positive as I can. Loving more…beginning with myself. Laughing more. Trying to not take myself and my life so seriously. Try to relax and give myself a break. Of course, I want to be healthier, happier, and more prosperous. Who doesn’t? And, I know I have a lot of work to do. But, today all I want to do is accept myself as I am and start from there. What’s the point of improving ourselves if we can’t enjoy the process? For today, it’s enough that I want to continue recovery in 2015. I want that more than anything. Today I forgive myself for all the mistakes I made in 2014, and although I am quite sure I will make more in 2015, I pray that going back to gambling isn’t one of them. Which is my prayer for all of you as well
I found this quote and wanted to share.
“I hope that in this year to come you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re doing something . ~ Neil Garmen
Why do we insist on making the same mistake over and over again when there are so many other mistakes we could be making??? lol So, what do you say, let’s get out there in 2015 and make some new mistakes! I know we can do it!!! lol
