2015 New Year Resolutions!

I have spent almost every single New Year's Eve by myself with the exception of once or twice since high school. It started out because basically I was an introvert who hated parties and turned into a tradition. I reflect on the past year, journal, do a big tarot reading, watch bad TV, that kind of thing. Just be with myself.

I think that in and of itself is the intention. Continue learning to be with myself, listen to myself, be kind to myself, and work on myself.

I could have written candy coated bitch's entire post .

I "break in" the new daily planner (I just can't use any days before January), get out my journal, pour a glass of bubbly, and watch Dick Clark's New Years Rockin' Eve.

I've had an epiphany recently that I can't be any good for anyone else if I'm always last on the list and if I'm not good to Grainne first. So that's the theme for 2015-building a life I love regardless of whether I'm partnered or not, even dating or not. My strength, joy, and soul come from within. I've just not been tuned into them for a very long time.
