NYE Resolution: No More Resolutions

         As 2012 winds down,most people are busy making New Years resolutions. Through reflecting on the past years' highs and lows, most people are vowing to hit the gym more, eat their vegetables, and say their prayers nightly. I am not one to make resolutions, though.I think it sets too high of an expectation, instead I have small things I want to improve upon in my everyday life. Every night in my prayers I ask G-d to help me to be a better person tomorrow than I was today. Do I need to go to the gym more? And eat more vegetables? Absolutely. But I'm not going to say I'm going to be on the treadmill 7 days a week...because I know I won't be. But I will use 2013 to continue improving myself inside and out. I will not be perfect, but I will strive to learn from my mistakes in order to not make the same ones. I will continue to grow and nurture those relationships that are most important to me, something I have ignored in past years. But most of all, I will continue to blossom into the woman, employee, daughter, and partner that I want to be, not the woman that I am expected to be. Life is such an amazing journey full of unexpected wonder, but the most cherished relationship that should come from your life is the one with yourself....so make 2013 the year all about you!
