Making 2009 better

2008 was absolutely amazing, but this year has been rather rough for me.

I think back to the beginning of the year and all I remember is the crying, the hatefulness and bitterness, the pain.

I want to change all that.

I don't want to look back to 2009 and only have regrets and anger for not being able to do more; for shortchanging myself by not standing up for what I believed in.

So this is what I want the rest of 2009 to be. A year of enlightenment. A year of counting my blessings. A year to learn and grow into myself a little bit more. Of righting wrongs. This is the year where I will invest in myself and be all I can be.

This year I will:

Wear more skirts and pretty dresses
Let my hair down
Read more
Do more
Cook
Buy organic
Learn a new thing every day
Remind myself how blessed I am daily
Respect myself and on that same note, never ever work for one who doesn't
Appreciate people
Be healthy
Live life

It's only May. There are seven more months to do all these this year. And I have a feeling that this year will be one of the best years of my life yet.
