earning
the right to feel that what you are doing is right, that is how I feel quite often. Don’t worry this isn’t going to be one of ‘those’ posts!
I don’t do resolutions, because I can’t keep them, situations change, and well I don’t be to be reminded a whole year later that I have failed at another thing!
I want this year to feel that I have ‘earned’ things, because sometimes I feel like I am here simply to facilitate other peoples requirements, now I know that isn’t the case, but I often feel that way!
I also want to be to say no, and for people to accept it, this seems to be quite a hard thing, that you know sometimes I don’t want to do things because I have always done them, and I have been happy to do them, sometimes saying no is the right thing to do for my sanity!
I can’t think of anything else at the moment, these were in my head and so therefore could not remain there!
Last night and today were great, we did different things to normal, it shook the boys up, and made them whine about other things and got us out and about.
So at least I have made a start, but no resolution!
p.s. maybe some piccies tomorrow, too busy today making pancakes, fry-ups and watching a film!

Happy New Year to you all!!
I understand what you mean about saying no – I have that problem too and have had to try and force myself to say it and mean it in the last couple of years, particuarly to a certain friend, for the sake of my sanity!! I’m getting better, but still let a Gas & Electricity salesman over the threshold the other day and almost talk me round, until I said ‘No, no, no!!!’ and I think he then thought I was a bit of a nutter and went quite quickly!!!

Those are really great thoughts to enter the new year with. I’m not making resolutions, either, just telling myself that I’ll try to do/be the best that I can. Happy new year!
