I have found myself in bed since yesterday afternoon. It has given me more time to reflect on my resolutions for the year. I don't believe in the traditional new years resolutions. Instead I have been making life resolutions throughout the year. I am focusing on me and making a better me. My point is why wait. I wanted to make a change in my life. No time is better than the present.
Last year I wanted to lose weight, keep a journal and such. I did lose some. I began eating better. Exercising more and longer. It wasn't enough to stick. So this year I wanted to make some improvements.
Instead of waiting until the first of the year, I started a few months ago. I began walking a minimum of 5 days a week. I started an ab, sit-up and squat challenge. I began not only keeping an electronic calendar but also a paper calendar. Two weeks before Christmas, I began journaling again. On the spur of the moment I went on a date 2 days before the new year. On new years eve I agreed to go to the restaurant where my date works. I took friends who always say one day we are going to do something different. We had a great time.
My resolutions for my life are to travel more, go and do things, have quality experiences and to lead a healthier lifestyle. Above all I don't want to dream my life. I will live my dream.

2017 is going to be my year.
It is 9:30 p.m. Sunday evening on the first day of the year. Whew, I made it through 2016. Truly, there was never a question of if I was going to make it. The question was how I was going to make it.
Throughout the year I have lost, loved, fought, worked so much that I often did not know who I was, laughed, cried and been defeated. In this moment however, none of that matters. What matters is that I learned and grew.
This time last year I was home in bed and relishing a few more days off from the school. Tonight I am home in bed dreading the fact that I don't have those days.
In the past year, I took on more of a role at school. I took more active role in DoTerra. I let go of a relationship. I voiced my thoughts. I went out of my comfort zone to meet new people.
This year I want to expand on the abundance that I have been given. I don't mean monetary. I am talking about all the souls that I have met and experiences I have had. I also will be writing and reading more. I am focused on finding someone to share my life but am in no hurry. I have learned being selective is important.
2017 began in the company of friends. I had not originally planned the evening like that but it was the best idea. Normally I am sleep when the new year begins. This year my friends and I went to a restaurant at the suggestion of my date Thursday night. It turned out to be a great night. I hope to do things like this much more in the year.
