Ahhh, there is a new year upon us.  A time to make changes that will make us better, stronger, happier and healthier.

I want to make myself promises this year that I keep.  I do want to be in better shape physically, but getting mentally stronger is in desperate need. 

I have a genetic condition that I can not control, and want to love for me.  Bumps or no bumps.  Spots or more spots, I am just me.  I get told all the time that I am smart, funny, and attractive and this year I will believe it.  I would love to be able to stop men dead in their tracks, but I will settle for finding one that loves me for me.  BTW the relationship I was trying to nurture ended, oh well.

I will no longer be a door mat.  I will not be paralyzed by the issues of my divorce because it was not my fault.  So what if my ex meets someone first?  So what if I have to wait to find that someone?  He has his own problems, and they are not my own.  There will always be the hurt because of the infidelity, and walking away from his family, but my heart and mind will heal in time.

I will stop eating things that are not good for me.  No more processed foods high in sugar.  No more ordering out all the time and more home cooked meals.  I will have my body back even if it takes until next year... but pray it will come at least by April.

I wish all of my friends here at DS the strength they need to stay true to themselves.  Whatever your station is now in life, there could be another train along at any minute to take you someplace new.  Do not always accept things for what they are, because you have the power to change almost anything.  Here at DS it seems that there is a lot of people who help others, and that is one thing I am thankful for in 2007, and that is finding this site.

The best things in life often happen by suprize.

Good wishes, strength and prayers to you all.  Here is for a great 2008.
