So, I'm Xanga stalking.
But it's okay. Because the person I'm Xanga stalking is myself.
And I found my New Year's resolutions, dated 31 December 2005. I had forgotten I had ever made New Year's resolutions before:
"Make better use of my time. Yell less and listen more. On the other hand, quit caring so much how others feel all the time and think of myself once in awhile. Realize that people will always find a reason to not like me, no matter how hard I try, so I should forget those individuals. Appreciate what I have. Be less obsessed. Return to Christ, because I need Him more than I like to admit."
To be perfectly honest, I'm rather impressed with the progress I've made on each of those. Maybe it took me three years rather than just one, but I have improved. And hey, in those three years, I've also learned not to split infinitives, so even my grammar has improved by leaps and bounds.
Which means that new resolutions are in order. I've only really got two this year, both brought to you in part by these messages from James:
1. Don't be so hard on myself and recognize that I am worth something. (That's from the flesh-and-blood James.)
2. Tame my tongue (from the book of James).
Here's to 2009.
