Happy 2008!!

So, it is a new year, and I have goals! Not resolutions, as those sound too stodgy and strict, but goals... things to work toward. They are:

1) Trying to be more positive... focus more on the good things and less on the bad. The bad will always be there, but focusing on it makes life a lot more miserable. I'm going to try to take notice of the things that are good; those are always there, too.

2) Trying to have more self-confidence... recognize that I'm a nice person and have no reason to hide myself away from everyone. Okay, so I'm bad at keeping my house clean, and bad at plenty of other things too, I'm sure! But everyone's bad at something, and that doesn't make them inferior to everyone else, so I'm not inferior either and shouldn't feel that way about myself. There are plenty of things I'm good at, and I'm a worthwhile person, so I'm not going to shy away from being around other people or talking to them any more. And I'm going to try not to make negative comments about myself either, which goes back to goal #1.

So there you have it. My goals for 2008.

I'll come back and post about the trip to Texas after I resize my pictures.
