With a New Year’s Resolution that is? 🙂

Hi Cous! How are you doing? How is 2017 shaping up for you? Then again it’s only January 1. Question – what makes yesterday different from today? So yesterday was the end of 2016 and today is the beginning of 2017. So what? It doesn’t mean that my luck will suddenly change, or that I’ll suddenly break old habits (though I’m trying) or that I’ll even cry any less!

Now that cous, that is a good New Year’s Resolution… “May I shed less tears in 2017…” Good luck with that, lol… Habits, willpower, patterns… all are strong words. Maybe I should tape them to my mirror (or my fridge when I seek that midnight snack ;))… Strong – that’s a word I want and need to live by. I don’t think I’m there yet. I don’t think that my crying so easily makes me weak, but I wish I was stronger. I know that I have better perspective than a year ago. In an effort to cleasne myself from 2016 I’ve deleted contacts from my phone and Facebook, as well as texts and emails. 2016 was a year of experiments – some better than others and with really only ONE regret (and that doesn’t really have to do with men… oh wait, it has to do with my ex – starting the process of getting that damn Get….). I guess not bad considering the things that I’ve done and the lessons learned (such as I like the buzz I get when I drink a little, BUT I do not like feeling sick from too many shots of scotch and $150 Uber charge later… well.. you know the rest… at least I know it will never happen again = lesson learned!!). I also learned to try and read parking signs a bit better, lol.

As for men dear cous… I’m going to leave that for my next post ;)….

And even though I’m not sure what makes 2016 so different from 2017, here is my wish: let it be a healthy one for my family and I; let it be calmer and less stressful financially (please… as I would really like to keep this house… it does feel like home); let us be a little bit happier, sillier and wiser; let us share in and make more happy memories (than not) and most of all let me not screw this up = #motherhood!

In the meantime, I’ll dedicate this one to the both of us… I hope I haven’t used it in any of my previous posts.

I love you cous!
