Living Life

This is my new year.  Not New Year of 2010, but  my new start. 

I'm going to live this year like my last.  Who knows, it very well could be.  We all have limited days in this life, why not live today like it was my last or the this year for that matter?  I'm gonna do everything (within reason or so) that I've been afraid to do or have said I don't have funds for. 

These are my objectives for this year:

1)  Each day or week depending on when I touch base with peeps, I will tell my family and friends how much I love them and how much they mean to me.

2)  I will keep my so called enemies or insubordinates close. 

Not because I fear them or want to figure out what they are up to, but to meld our differences.  To try and understand why they rub me the wrong ways.  Maybe it is more me and not so much them in the long run.

3) To take chances, to increase my learning curve on surfing, sharks and any other underwater creatures be damned!  To expand my limits that I place on myself in sport and in life.

4)  To love wholly....give all myself physcially and mentally.

5)  To take criticism and to try and not get defensive (easier said than done), but as a learning tool.  To grow from said critic's point of view and to know when to say "enough."

6)  To relish each and every day.  No matter if I get a ticket, have a patient die or have my kids and husband turn hostile.  To remember that each day I have is a gift.  No more, no less.

7)  Give back, whether monetary or with my nursing skills set.  Just to give, without expecting anything in return is a rare gift in itself.

8)  To be myself, but then again more of what I am and what I can offer.

9)  Not to judge myself too critically.  Accept where I am at physcially, and what I look like in the mirror on any given day...and just deal with it.

10)  Too remember all , and embrace life fully!
