This is the time of year that many of you guys are talking about resolutions. I did the same thing last year. But this year I'm doing things differently.
Around June last year there was a moment that I came to a realization about the person that I was and it rocked me to the core.
All I saw was ugliness and pettiness.
All I felt was shame.
I sat and thought about how I ended up in this place. How could I avoid ending up back here? I prescribed myself a heavy dose of soul searching and husband cuddling. In the end I realized one important thing;
By fighting for my pride, I had lost my dignity.
I realized that the person I was not only hurt others but it also hurt myself. Well that just wasn't going to work out for me now was it? So I decided to make a change. I looked at my priorities, what I wanted from life, and the example I wanted to set for my daughter. Finally I came to a decision.
People are adults, they don't need me to be involved. If everything falls apart, it's their problem to deal with, not mine, I shouldn't get involved. My focus should be on myself and my family. I also refuse to attach my life ship to anyone's life anchor.
My New Year's resolution is to keep doing what I've been doing. It's worked for 6 months so far and if it isn't broken....

Good for you! That's pretty much my philosophy, my priority is my family and keeping positive. Full stop. I stay out of other people's business, and as a result they stay out of mine. Makes for a drama free life, and I like it that way.
Love this. It's a good feeling to start the new year knowing you're in a better place than last. ;-)
i like that. don't attach your life ship to someone else's life anchor! and it's very true that if you're hurting yourself, you're likely hurting other people around you too. negativity affects everyone. sucks that way =/
"I also refuse to attach my life ship to anyone's life anchor."
I'm gonna have to write that one down!
I had to think about this post for a while to try to figure out what you meant. You mean you're done being a meddler, right? Done preventing or attempting to prevent other people's mistakes?
Because the first time I read it, I was all, "Really? Her resolution is to be more selfish?" but that didn't seem to fit with who you are. Like, it came across as though you wanted to stop caring about people who were hurt or needed help. Didn't make sense that that was a goal somebody would strive for. :D
You know what? That's just about exactly what I did, just about exactly the same time.
And for the record, the last time I stopped through, I don't believe I left a very eloquent comment. And I apologize for that.
You're good people.
And that's what counts.
Funny how many of us took a hard look at ourselves and what was going on around June and made decisions regarding what we saw to put ourselves in better places.
I stumbled in from Frank and am glad I did.
The Maiden- I would love less drama. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
LiLu- that's exactly what I was going for
Floreta- it's like they always say; love yourself
Sarah- I'm thinking of getting it tattooed ;)
prin- read slower...maybe with a more open mind
Deutlich- welcome back
cuteellaisbold- welcome! Any reader of Frank's is highly suspicious to me ;)
Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Now, I feel good, I started to get real income.
It gets down to select a proper companion who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the profit with me.
You may ask, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
