New Year, New You?

New Year, new me. Ehhhhh j/k

First off, happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great time ringing it in. It was a very low key one for us this time around. We spent it at the parental units house, with my brother, uncle and cousin. It was nice and chill. We played some board game and ended the night with an intense couple of games of UNO.

This year I decided not to do any resolutions. I usually don't anyway but had started up with them a couple of years ago. I don't buy the hype of "new year, new you" bullshit. I feel you don't have to wait for a New Year to make changes in your life that you feel need improvement. If you're about that life, props to you, I'm just not one of them.

I had already started making minor changes prior to the New Year anyway. I've been staying off of facebook a lot lately. I'm not anti-facebook, or anything, it's just it was consuming a lot of my time. I was going to bed feeling guilty, about not spending more time with the girls, because I was scrolling through a lot of bullshit. I still check it maybe once a day now, or when I get an alert. Still don't have facebook messenger. I have enough of their applications, don't need more on my phone. I've also been trying to stick to my new mantra: focus on those who focus on you. I've been doing alright for the most part. Chasing people gets pretty damn old. Might as well give my attention to those who appreciate it and are giving me theirs in return.

This New Year feels slightly different, maybe because I'm getting older and I'm about to push forty. Maybe because I didn't party hard, or maybe because I've been out of it a tad bit. Regardless, I am still looking forward to a lot things this year. I'm hopeful as I am every year. I'm grateful for being able to ring another year with my husband, daughters and family.

Wishing you all an amazing year! Oh, and a very late merry Christmas, too! Haha. Sorry.
