i don't do resolutions

i don't think i have ever in the past actually made New Year's resolutions and if i have, i definitely have not kept them. but, every year is a new year and i have a few things that i want to accomplish in the year to come. i'm not going to refer to them as 'resolutions' though. i figured if i do that, they won't get completed. so, i have goals.

for starters, i would definitely like to better myself as a whole. this would include eating better, working out regularly, continuing acupuncture (which is amazing and worth every penny), furthering my education (more to come on this, i'm applying to two schools), and working on my relationship with God and my family. i think those goals are normal and achievable goals that even most people set for themselves at one point or another. but, i would also like to save money (i want another dog, a new purse, and lots of other expensive things. mind you, i still have bills too!), get a high paying job doing something i love (i do love my current job though) and do more traveling (Las Vegas, New York, Hawaii - keep me in the US!) and lastly, something that i have been struggling with lately but is just as important or even more than the goals i have already mentioned...staying sober. this is a huge part of my life and who i am. i would definitely not have the things i have today, be where i am today and have the wonderful people in my life that i do now if i never got sober. being sober really is a blessing.

and by the way, it's been...2737 days, 17 hours and 34 minutes!
