Wow…2012 is behind us.  How’d that work for you?

Does anyone else find themselves reflecting on what went right and what could have gone better?

I find myself doing that every day!  Last night was no different.  I had one of those days where things came out a little…..off!!!  I swear sometimes I get possessed by this evil being that jumps into my mouth and spews out things I don’t intend to say!  I really  hate when that happens but I fear it’s only going to get worse as I get older.

I can feel  my filters slipping away and the connection between what I think and what I say gets shorter and shorter.

I can see where old people just start snapping at each other without any forethought.  I feel I am halfway there.  Taking a journey I have no control over.  Going down a slippery slope.

But what can you do?  There are just sometimes I get surprised at myself.  And all I can ask is forgiveness.

This year I’ll be working on better communication.  I still suffer from being stuck in my head and it seems to be an issue.

Last night was a really nice gathering.  We went bowling and then ended the night at a friend’s house.   It was actually pretty low-key and very nice.

Today we are going to a bbq and then vegging.   The house is pretty close to being in order, so a nice movie night sounds like the ticket for us.  Soon the schedules will be up and running and I’ll be doing stress management again.  Can’t wait (not really)…..

Actually, I do have one good goal this year; Find an exercise routine that fits my life.  I admit I have fallen off the wagon a bit and it’s time to get back on.  I’m not calling it a resolution, just a goal.

Resolutions are quickly diminished.  I can’t buy into that.

I’m looking forward to 2012 as I have looked forward to every new year.  A new beginning ( so to speak) and a reminder to us all we have a new chance at a new way of things.

But the truth is, we have that chance every day.  We just wait until New Years to acknowledge it.

Here’s to a better year with acheiveable goals and happy healthy family and friends!

Happy Tuesday
