Ah, yes, that time of year that one takes stock of all that was and wasn't accomplished and then resolves to make that change. Well, not this girl, not this year. I am not resolving, I am revolting. Revolting against all that I hate or despise in my day. In the words of creepy Micheal Jackson, I'm gonna "make that change." Because I am officially middle aged and I have no intention of wasting any more of my days with any of the following...
1. A lousy relationship with God. Oh, He is so there for me all the time, but I am not very good about being there for Him. Most of my prayers are for my needs, not my thanks. Most of my visits are, who are we kidding, there really aren't any visits.
I will attend Mass or another service each week. If I cannot attend a service, then I will find myself a place of prayer and get at it.
2. A checkbook that is more red than black. Ok, it really isn't that bad, but there are several times a year (a week) where I ask myself out loud if I paid that bill.
Get my bills on auto pay or better yet, get them paid off!
3. A piss poor attitude at work. No big secret here folks, I am not a fan of the current position I am in. But there really isn't much alternative until #2 is true, so it is time to accept the fact that big time drug store job is not so terrible and I can certainly make a better go of it!
Work well.
4. A belly that has never had a six pack but now resembles a keg.
I know what to do here, and I have the tools. Simple as that. There is going to be a lot less of me.
5. Friendships that are sinking instead of sailing. I turn down invites. I don't ever have get togethers. Blah, Blah, Blah.
Accept invitations and extend them.
I am not easing into 2012. I am revolting against all that was (well, some of what was) and am going to take advantage of this year. Or least I will be on good terms with the Lord, with less debt, less waist, more friends and a better job when the aliens come on December 21st.
