Lil Bit of Southern Inspiration

So you're standing in the middle of the thunder and lightning
I know you're feeling like you just can't win, but you're trying
It's hard to keep on keepin' on, when you're being pushed around
Don't even know which way is up, you just keep spinning down, 'round, down…

Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

So hold your head up and tell yourself that there's something more
And walk out that door,
Go find a new rose, don't be afraid of the thorns
'Cause we all have thorns
Just put your feet up to the edge, put your face in the wind
And when you fall back down, keep on rememberin'

Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

(Every Storm- Gary Allen)

People find my outlook on life rather silly at times, but over time i have come to find that hey, if i'm happy and their not should i really care what they think of my antics?  Maybe they should be taking a lesson from me....

point of the story is that over the break I had a friend laugh about how excited and giddy I got over the thought of a new year.  Here's the way I see it.  New Year, new slate.  It's easier for my to start fresh, to  re-evaluate where I stand in life and consider where I want to eventually be.  Am I happy with my current position?
I thought it would be smart to write out a few resolutions (in hopes of following through with them past march)


1) be healthier
Start excersising more and eating more super foods!!!  This will give me an excuse to start cooking for myself and maybe trying some new classes like barre!!

2) Be more fashionable!!!
In other words stalk pintrest and see what I like and how to make it work for me!  There are also a ton of books i want to read on how to keep it classy including Andrea Pomerantz Lustig's How to Look Expensive and Jordan Christy's How to be a Hepburn in a Hilton World.  I truly believe that looks are not everything in life BUT how are others expected to take you seriously and invest in you if you dont invest in yourself??
                             

3) Be Amazed (granted I stole this one from New Years Eve, but hey it's a good one)

4) Slow down and enjoy where you are rather than rushing ahead to the next step

5) Learn 5 new things about myself.  No one knows you better than you (hopefully)

To a fabulous 2013!!!
