On Jan. 1, 2013 I hope to be doing the same thing I plan to be doing on the morning of Jan. 1, 2012 -- having brunch. New Year's Day brunch has been a tradition of mine for several years and one I hope to continue for many more.
But at brunch on New Year's Day 2013, things will be different; I will be different. My mantra for for this new year is Getting Well in 2012. Yes, I know it's a bit lame that it rhymes, but that doesn't take detract from its purposefulness. My goal for 2012 is to get healthy in every way.
I want to be physically healthy and I plan to do that by adopting a regular exercise regimen, taking my medication as my doctor tells me to, and making better food choices. In fact, my hope is that by the end of 2012 this junk food junkie will be a bonafide foodie.
I want to be financially healthy. So I'm going to freelance like crazy and use the extra money to pay off credit card debt.
I want to be mentally and emotionally healthy. I'm going to stop being in denial about my depression and do something about it.
I want to be spiritually healthy. There was a point in my life, just before I moved back to Birmingham, when I was so close to God it was as if I could feel God holding my hand as I walked down a sidewalk. I remember one day He seemed so close it felt like I was sitting in His lap while I had lunch with a friend. Seriously. In 2012, I'm determined to get that feeling back.
So on Jan. 1, 2013, I plan to be at brunch as always, but I hope to be the happiest and healthiest Javacia you have ever known.
I second that -- all of that! Here's to a healthy 2012 -- hope it can include some time spent together :)
ReplyDeleteI third! Couldn't have said it better myself.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Enjoy your brunch tomorrow. From the short time I've "known" you, I feel certain you will accomplish your goals.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed reverbing with you this month.
I am with you. 2012 is my healthy year in every area of my life. I am not going to be a people pleaser but a God pleaser. I have learned that God and I are the majority. We can do everything. 2012 is the year I continue to let God lead and I obey more quickly and not be hesitant to doubt but just do. After today, more exercise and eating healthier and less junk food.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your reverbing.
Heres to a healthy and prosperous year to you and everyone that accepts the change
Erin, we definitely must spend more time together this year. I miss you so much!
ReplyDeleteJudi, thanks for reverbing with me. I have really enjoyed your posts and look forward to getting to know you better in 2012 (and meeting you IRL).
Denescia, thank you for sharing such powerful words. "God and I are the majority. We can do everything." I'm putting those words on my wall!
Me too!
