Holidays

Another Christmas has come and gone and here we are staring another new year in the face. This year has been truly a roller coaster of events, everything from illness of a loved one to family drama to stress from school and boards to relationship/friendship ups and downs. As I welcome in the new year, I realize that I truly need to purge myself of the people and situations that I just don't need to carry with me into the new year. It's like people step into you life as blessings and some as complete tragedies. I'm about ready to do a Facebook and Twitter cleanse if not completely delete both accounts. I'm tired of the hearsay... I'm tired of knowing more about other people's issues and problems and not being able to focus on my own... I'm tired of communicating or being Facebook "friends" with people I either have never had a convo with, won't even recognize in person or won't speak to even if I did see them in person. I'm tired of being Facebook "cousins" with people I don't talk to, don't like me or are out to deceive. I've just reached the point to where I'm fed up. I have too many blessings in store for 2012 to be worried about the people and issues of 2011 and before. So with that in mind, the goal of 2012 is to purge myself of the unnecessary drama. The year 2012 will be a lot happier and less stressful than this past year. I've been on my prayer quest and daily devotionals for 2011, but it's time for me to step those things up too. I often avoid confrontation in an effort to remain stress free and to not block my own blessings. A few times I've allowed myself to be involved in what I consider to be stupidity and ignorance. It's about to be a near year filled with new adventures, new accomplishments and a new me. I thank God for 2011, but I'm thanking Him in advance for the great things to come in 2012.
