My New Years Resolution

Remember those days in your childhood when everything was just amazing? There were play dates and ice cream and weekday-labeled underwear... mean people and "problems" never lasted more than a few minutes or a day and sometimes you just daydreamed that when you grew up, things would be even more amazing AND you wouldn't have to listen to your parents anymore?
And then you grew up?
Yeah... the moment has arrived. Bills exist. Potential mortgages linger in the near future. Decisions with no right answers exist. and my goodness, hangovers exist. I catch myself telling people that I'm tired or stressed or SO busy all the time. And every time I say one of those words, I feel MORE tired and stressed and busy. I really don't have an awful life. I enjoy so many moments of it. I really do. It seems though that the moments I dwell on tend to be the ones I talk about and complain about. Well, No more!

This year, my new years resolution is to contemplate the things that really make me happy and give meaning to my life. I will no longer use "I'm tired/stressed/busy" as a response to "How are you?" any longer...

Now I just have to come up with something else to say...
