Being Accountable

I haven't been feeling very well for the past few days and think I need to take some time and rest up.  I probably won't be coming online at all for at least a few days (maybe more if my health worsens) but have been thinking about the following and wanted to get it on my blog before I forget all about it.

"We have to learn to be our own best friends because we fall too easily 
into the trap of being our own worst enemies." 
 ~Roderick Thorp, Rainbow Drive

I've come to realise that I probably rely on others too much.  It's around this time every year that I start to think about my resolutions for the new year.  I've done this for so many years and I never seem to achieve any of the goals I set for myself.  I've given it a lot of thought and do believe it's because I always ask Brian to help me to achieve my goals

Let's be honest.  What it all boils down to is excuses.  However, now that I realise where my problem lies I can set about and do things to try and change the way I deal with things and approach my resolutions.

Yes, I shall once again give myself resolutions for the new year but I will make them myself and I will carry them out myself.  No asking for help anymore. 

I need to be accountable to only one person ... ME!

"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the guy who'll decide where to go."

~Dr. Seuss

Best of luck with your new resolutions! I agree, it's so hard to accomplish something when we find reasons not to, including other people.

I'll look forward to seeing you back on the blog as soon as possible. Rest up and enjoy, and don't be gone as long as last time, ok?

This is wonderful Mama. Sometimes I think first you need to try and achieve your goals yourself and then others will follow and help you without even thinking.

I wish you luck and Daddy and I will be there along the way :)

I will ALWAYS believe in you - even during times when you don't even believe in yourself.

You are an inspiration to me. I am going to set myself some goals on my blog now I think :)

I love you with all of my heart <3
