"Yesterdays a memory, another page in history. You sell yourself on hopes and dreams that leave you feeling sideways. Tripping over my own feet. Trying to walk to my own beat, another car out on the street trying to find the highway. Yeah, are you going my way? This is the story of my life, and I write it everyday. I know it isn't black and white, and it's anything but gray. Anything can, everything can happen, that's the story of my life."
In just a few hours, days, weeks 2016 will be history, and a new year will begin. Where does the year go? I usually keep the starting my entries with lyrics to my personal journal, but I made an exception here this once. These lyrics are fitting for my state of mine as I transition from 2016 to 2017. When the year began, I was in a much different place than I am now. Everything was different. My state of mind was anywhere and everywhere.
Maybe you had made the decision at the end of 2015 to try to pull yourself out of a deep depression you had found yourself since 2014. You wanted to get yourself out of something you feel has weighed you down, However, life decided to pull you back down, and it took until somewhere in March or April 2016 for you to really move forward. We may or may not be on same page, but you just always have to move on.
I have lot in mind for 2017. I have resolutions that I've made, goals in my mind for my writing. I want to make 2017 even better than 2016 for me. And so do you. You see its never too late, it does not matter if you have failed as a man or failed those who trusted in you or invested in you, what matters is if you have decided to really make a change if where you have been all these times has not affected you positively.
These are some of my goals for the year to come.
Personal Goals
I want to be a better daughter. I want to find patience with my father. He isn't getting any younger. He just turned 70 something this month, and as much as I try to not snap at him when he can't hear me or I need to explain things over and over again, I sometimes do it without thinking, and I need to work on that. Infact i have worked on that hahahaha.
I want to be a good friend to those around me. I need to work on not getting lost in my own little world, and talk more to those around me because I do cherish all my friendships dearly. I need to show that. Whether it is my blogging friends around the blogosphere or my friends in facebook, twitter, instagram and elsewhere. I don't want any of my friends to doubt how much I care about them.
I want to be a good wife to my own husband...And the best mother to my own kids.
I want to be better at keeping in touch with my family elsewhere. It is so easy to pick up a phone and just say hello. I need to do that more often.
Writing / legal Goals
I need to finish what I begin. I need to do better.
I need to work on my profession as an Attorney in general. I need to continue freeing and assisting people the best way i can as This touches the part of God's heart - which is to set the captive free and right now i am in a position to do it.
I need to continue improving my writing. The more I write, the more I improve, but I need to make that improvement important. I need to read the works of others and any resources I can that will help me to do this. as i have just done.
In general, I just want to be the best person I can be for 2017. I want to be able to look back next year at this time and be proud of what I've done.
I want God to manifest his power in my life, not the kind i see in churches, but a personal manifestation. Where even the wicked will marvel at the handiwork of God in my life. I want the world to know that one with God is truly majority and that my God is not deaf and dumb. That i believe in him even when he is silent and he no longer keeps silence anymore.
May it be a glorious Christmas for each and everyone of us. And those of you who have been with me through my blog since last year through this year, i want to say a big thank you in advance. You are the source of my being here, you inspire me to write. Am proud of you all.I owe you one.
Have a wonderful New Year in advance everyone. Be safe tonight.
