Farewell 2011!!!

I am not sure there is anyone happier to leave 2011 in the dust as I am!!  It has been a rough year to say the least!!  This year I have lost my grandmother and brother unexpectedly, and I have also gone through a separation and divorce.  Along with other things that have happened this year, I felt like every time I turned a corner, I was being dealt with another hurdle to jump!!  I have high hopes that 2012 will be much more in my favor!!  I know that it is cliche, but I did set a few goals for myself, or "resolutions" if you will...

Goal #1:

My weight!!  I know this is one that everyone sets every year, but I REALLY need to get myself back in shape!!  I always led a very fit lifestyle, but when I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and was put on steroid shots, I somehow allowed myself to use this as an excuse to let myself go.  Well, no more!!  I am off my shots for now, and it's time to be healthier and a better example for my son!!!

Goal #2:

Spend more quality time with my little guy.  I am with Truett literally all day every day, but I feel like I need to make more quality one on one time a priority.  Who knows, he may end up being my only child, so I don't want to miss one minute!!  They grow up so fast!!!

Goal #3:

Make myself a priority/stand up for myself more.  I tend to always put myself and my wants last for everyone else.  I am also horrible at letting others run all over me!!  My Nanny would always say as she was hanging up with me on the phone, "Kanana, don't let people run over you!!"  If I am happy and have a better attitude, then I set a better example for my son and I am able to give him more of me!!

In college I would always write down my goals and carry them around with me, and believe it or not, having those goals there to constantly remind me, really worked and kept me on top of things.  Every year I would pretty much accomplish every goal I set for myself!  So, not only do I have my goals written on here for everyone to see and to constantly be there for me to see, but I have written these goals down and taped them to my refrigerator and my bathroom mirror.  Here's to a happy and successful 2012!!!!  I hope you all have a very....
