Happy 2008!

As January 1st has fallen upon us we seem to reflect on our lives. Most of us look to improve ourselves and start fresh. Others look at it as another year closer to death. Tonight as I was walking down Las Vegas Blvd I couldn't get over how unhappy I was. How could one be so sad around others who are so drunkenly happy? I thought to myself that I needed a change in my life. I am not the party girl I use to be nor am I one who can tolerate the drunken fools that flooded the strip.

With this in mind I looked at what else has changed within myself and reevaluate my life. I know I need to take better care of my body, I need to figure out my right life path, I need to appreciate what I do have because others have so much less. I need to be more family focused, being without my husband tonight really made me sad. Being with friends is one thing but being without the one you love is hard. Speaking of friends I need to work on my friendships more. As I grow older so do my friendships. They need different types of maintenance and I am afraid I am drifting apart from my closest friends. Yes, we live across the country from one another but we have made it this long with keeping our friendship alive.

Other issue I need to work on for '08 is me taking the world on my shoulders. I cannot save the world. However, everyone comes to me for advice. I don't mind, it's what I do. The problem comes when they don't listen to my advice and still complain about the same problems over and over. I can only listen to so much of the same problem. So this year I hate to say it but I need to cut the fat, so to speak.

I am sure I will think of more but for now, I need my beauty rest if I am going to keep better care of my body.

Happy New Year!
