2012 goals

for the past seven years since we got married, gelio and i have been doing a list of our accomplishments and struggles of the previous year. after reading to each other our list, we discuss it and then formulate our goals for the coming year. you may call it our new year's resolution. we would like to call it our goals. pretty much the same but we would want for it to really happen and not just remain a list :)  it's also our action to be better/to improve/change/grow/correct the wrong from the past year/s.

new year's resolution

happy new year!

most people would make a list of resolutions at the start of the year hoping to accomplish it before the year ends. nothing wrong with that. i think i remember doing this once or twice in my life and i don't remember ever accomplishing it all. hehe! ;)

anyway, just like any other year, i am not making my new year's resolution list this year. i just want it to be a constant thing -- you know, change. sure its good to make a list, sort of like a strict instructions that needs to be done accordingly. a guideline, so that one can go through the process step by step. i want that too. getting one thing accomplished at a time. going to the next. its organized. its clear. its moving forward.

the reason i am not making the new year's resolution is because i would want to be cautious of who and what i am.  i want to change for the good. to be a better mom, wife, friend, daughter, etc. again, we are God's work in progress. so this is a life long process.

yes, i am glad that 2010 is over because it has been really so challenging for us. i am sure that there are more challenges and trials to come. the thing is, i've learned. there is that desire that i want to be better. i am continuosly discovering things about myself. i see things in a different light. i understand that i have to go through all these in preparation for bigger things. no need for a year to end to get rid of bad habits. and we can't get rid of those bad things that already happened. and, there is no need for a new year to come or start just to experience the change and the good things that we want.

everybody deserves a good thing and a new start.

i am hopeful.
