New Year's Resolutions?

SassyGal · 01-01-2012, 11:27 PM

I think my resolution is to continue looking forward and leaving the past in the past, where it belongs. After watching some family drama unfold between my mom and her brother regarding my nana and her transition from independent living to living in a nursing home, I have seen the horrible effects of holding onto to past wrongs and grudges. Learning from our mistakes is healthy, but holding onto anger is self-destructive. Watching my mom's already fractured family dynamic implode on itself has been a HUGE wake up call for me.

I'm also going to start journalling again. 2012: The year of self reflection for me!
