I've been gone from the blogging world for quite some time. The trials and tribulations of Storm Sandy finally came to an end, but I was in desperate need of a new computer. My laptop, while almost viable, takes forever to run. However, I've had it since 2005, so a 8 year run is a good deal.
Yesterday was my birthday and while most make resolutions on New Year's Day, I make mine on my birthday. I don't make resolutions that often lead to beating one self up for not being able to do it, but I try to reflect and create resolutions I think will make my life richer or easier. This year I only have one. Take a chance.
I don't want the fear of failing the reason to shy away from anything. Whether I want to eat better, exercise, learn to calm down or just forgive myself for some reason I've made up in my head, I just going to continue to try at goals and also accept myself if I fail. Every day, meal, hour, etc. gives me the opportunity to pursue what I want. Instead of harping on what I didn't do 10 minutes ago, I'm going to look ahead and try my best at the next opportunity.
I guess you'd call it a gift of self preservation and self love.
What resolutions have you set for yourself to enrich you as a person?

i think those are good goals...and you have been through a lot...learning to love ourselves is huge...enough to make those goals...and enough to give grace when we fall short...and to recognize what we did accomplish...
I agree. It only took me forever to recognize that beating self up wasn't working and it's okay to be proud of accomplishments.
