Holidays Are Gone and A New Year Is Here!!

So I guess most everyone "survived" Christmas and New Year's. We did. Christmas is always so busy for us. We always have so many places to go for Christmas. The greatest part of Christmas this year was seeing my child's face when he saw what Santa had brought him. Absolutely PRICELESS!

But now that the holidays are over and gone I realize we have all lost that "giddy" feeling. We have all slipped back into those mornings and days of "UGH!" We should still have a "giddy" feeling. We have a new year before us. So many people are starting on their list of resolutions. Me, well I didn't make the first resolution. Why make one if you know you are not gonna stick with it. Haha...

Instead of setting those same old resolutions of eating right, exercising, keeping the house up a little bit better, etc... why not dig deeper and work on the old heart that still continues to beat year after year. I mean you are here on this Earth for a reason right? So if you are still here then you still have a purpose! If you know your purpose then that's great. Don't quit, strive to do better!

Purpose. We all have a purpose. For years I mean years I wondered what MY purpose was. I wanted to help people. That's all I knew. Just help. I tossed ideas around about what to do when I graduated from high school. So many things I just didn't know what to do. Changed my major 3 times. Never accomplished anything. What was my purpose if I couldn't even make my mind up for a major? I wasn't searching deep enough. You have to do some soul-searching to find your purpose. So start searching.

Positive Influence. Be a positive influence on people. I can't stand people that constantly are looking for the worst and expecting the worst. They dread everyday and miss out on tons of happiness. They think your crazy when you smile and try to help. So don't be a negative influence. Don't drag others down. Lift them up!

It's up to you how to live your life. I just like to throw my 2 cents in. It doesn't matter if you want or think you need to change. We all need a little work. So start a new year off right. Do a little self maintenance before you try to fix someone else!!

Happy New Year!!
