New Years!

Last year, my new years resolution was basically to be more positive, and to trust my instincts more. It worked out pretty well. Yes, I still take things more seriously than I should sometimes, but who doesn't...right? However, I do take things lightly MUCH MORE OFTEN than I ever have in my life.

So, I decided...why not have the same goal for this year. So, my new years resolution for 2009 are to basically Live for the moment. Yes, i should plan for the future, otherwise I'll be out on the street living someday. But, at the same time, I need to live life. I need to stop holding grudges against people, I need to encourage people to do what THEY think is right for their lives and not encourage them to do what I think is right for their lives. I want to spend 2009 encouraging people, and loving people...for all the good and bad they hold.

Professionally I want to become more assertive and stop letting people walk all over me. Half of my time in my job I'm complaining about people not trusting me with enough work. Well, it's sort of my fault they do that...so I need to be more aggressive (in a friendly Theresa way) and ask for more work, more responsibilities, and ask to learn more...whether I think I have the right to do so or not. Afterall, how do I know if I can do it, if I don't even ask to try!?

Also, I want to become even more environmentally friendly. I do a lot of good things now (energy efficient light bulbs and recycling), but I know there is a lot more I can do...and I'm going to work hard this coming year to greenify my home a bit more (green friendly cleaning for example).

So, there you have it, my New Years Resolutions. What do you have?
