Owdy Dowdy.

2009 will be a radical and major year for me... I have imense plans.

From what I can share... It's the usual... To quit smokin' nd drinkin'. To shoot an imense amount of pool.

To write a book, hopefully a successful one.

To read a lot.

To explode in a Beyonce - Sugababes sorta way.

I want to grow in one year like others in five (thing is... I know I can... It's only laziness stopping me ). LOL

I want to learn to live my life like there were no consequences (at least in some areas).

To limmit my true friendships solely to high quality people (and by that I mostly mean loyal and disinterested).

I want to meet fabulous people.

I want to learn more about the human mind and record myself some positive messages to get my brain workin' the way I want it to, even if just parts of it.

There are two huge plans I'd like to have for this year, but I'm afraid I'll drop them for 2010 if it finds me well and dandy. It's a shame though coz they're my biggest wishes... But as I sometimes prefer to think with my brain rather than act on what the heart desires... I suppose I'll wait a bit.

Oh and plannin to see some more of Dr. Cox and find some more wisdom in his word as he's been guiding me jus lovely so far.

Once my girlfriend gets back she will be living with me for good. She had been living with me for the last 7 months or so, but needed to attend to things back home, such as selling her house.

I hope to use my talents a bit more wisely in 2009. Too long have i sat on them and they are an asset which i can put to use, a resource that i need to tap in to. In short, i plan on developing confidence in my own abilities more and using them to get more out of life. It sounds a bit general, but that's because it is, I don't know what life is going to throw at me yet.

No plans

One always begins a new year with plans and good intentions for themselves and I too am one of those...

I'd like to continue to improve the most important relationships in my life, with my children and Mr DH. Things don't always go swimmingly, but by learning from past mistakes and being able to look at myself critically I hope that 2009 is a year for growth.

I need to lose weight of course, Christmas is never good for the waist line! I have promised my daughter I shall give up smoking, AGAIN, so shall!

I enjoy my job in the main, but the money is poor so shall seriously look into further education, but like Bridget, am finding it a tough decision to make. Safe as I am, I have to be honest and admit I'm not 100% happy at the thought of where I am now being my future workwise.

To enjoy 2009 too...I hope you all do.

I too had a resistance to 'selling myself' but there comes a time when to move on and to get into the areas where you want to be, then it has to be done.
Also, having more time to be reflective made me realise all the interesting things I've done and skills learnt to reach the point where I can now appreciate what I am able to do.

The plans for 2009 - hmm, lets hope they don't go tits up eh?!

> Carrying on losing some weight (22lb gone already!) and get me down to a 10/12 by the time I'm 21).

> Increase my fitness with more aerobics/swimming.

> Pass my second year of uni with more then just a scrape by 40%!!

> Carrying on being happy, healthy and enjoy my life

My first plan is to stop being scared of making plans!

The next one is to learn to be honest starting by telling all the lovely people on here that have attempted to befriend me that I really do appreciate the efforts and any lack of feedback from me is not your faults nor is it entirely down to me being an ignorant cow (and no, no-one has told me I am )

I have suffered fairly serious depression since I was about 14 and a big side effect is a complete lack of confidence, no self esteem and a strong belief that I'm not worth knowing.

I'm not admitting this for sympathy so please, don't give me it but simply because I'm tired of pushing people away. I can't change overnight, but if I let people know that my going quiet on them is not because I don't want to know them, but rather because I'm inwardly struggling with the concept that I might be worth knowing then maybe I can gradually make real friends again.

This leads me on to my next plan for 2009, to see more of my family and friends. Money (as usual ) is my biggest obstacle, but I'm determined to find a solutuion to that also. (Unfortunately, at 50p a turn round here, prostitution is not an option )
