Show and Tell: New Year’s Resolutions Edition
I don’t really think i’m the resolutions kind of person. Sometimes I have a hard timeĀ keeping up with my monthly goals, what the heck would I do with a year’s worth of goals??
But Andrea is maaaaaking me this morning for her show and tell Tuesdays. š
Join me!
So, I am a sucker for quotes. I don’t know why, I love them. I love looking at them, hanging them around as decoration, reading them, and thinking about them in a different context.
One
This first one hit home for me. Often times I think these same things written on this quote below.
I know when you’re in school you think “Is it summer yet?!” All the time on social media people are putting “ready for a new year” “ready for spring break” “ready for graduation”; what if we stopped wishing our lives away and started living in the moment? So for this year, I want to live in the moment and enjoy whatever this year has in store for me.

And then I saw this one below on Pinterest and it kept sticking in my head.
Wow. That’s powerful. I really liked this one because more and more i’m seeing how the way a person looks really doesĀ play in to thingsā¦.opinions, decisions, how people treat others, etc. I think this is also one of the reasons I love the tv show, The Voice, because you really don’t know who you’re getting. You’re just listening for that special voice. It’s really important to understand this. So think aboutā¦how many people WOULD you impress if everyone was blind?

As someone who can get frustrated easily, I thought this would be a good one for me to try and live by this year. I’ve got to understand that God made us all different for a reason. So instead of getting angry about someone having a difference of opinion, I want to think about that point of view. I think the part about not all people will believe the things you believe can be taken into consideration in more than one way. Believing in God. Believing that reality tv really is a thing. Believing that one thing is more important than another thing. Should you try to more understanding and open to this? I know I need to.

I am a worrywart to a T. I’ll just go ahead and admit it. Seriously, I asked my dad one time what annoyed him most about me and without having to think about it he said “That you worry all the time”. Guilty as charged. I can’t help it. I guess not being able to control all situations and circumstances drives me crazy. I’m slowly starting to learn that i’m not suppose to be able to control all situations. I’m suppose to LET GO. and LET GOD. Have you heard that before? If not, remember it!
And that’s it. Just those four quotes. I might make them a little more pretty for myself and hang them up to read in my office when i’m needing some inspiration for this year.
Can’t wait to see everyone else’s resolutions this year. 2015 already?!
