HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

WOW!

It has been a while since my last point, but glad to posting this new year month!

Want to know my favorite part of a New Year? RESOLUTIONS!

It's so sad to see/hear people say that they don't make resolutions because they never stick with them.

I think that just shows that

1)They are afraid of failure
2)Settle for a life lacking challenge (and I love challenges)
3)They don't believe in themselves enough to believe that they can set a goal and achieve it!

It is really sad. There have been sooo many resolutions of the past that I had not achieved/accomplished. But that will not keeping me from adding it to the new list the following year and striving towards ONE DAY being able to go back to the list and cross it off!

Even if you may not accomplish that goal, you may be much closer to accomplishing it than had you not even set out to accomplish it in the first place!

So for my first post of 2012, I am writing down my 2012 Resolutions. I WILL make this the first year that I accomplish ALL of my resolutions! That being said,

#1 Is to accomplish all of my resolutions for the first time ever! (hehe)

Here are CARMEN's 2012 RESOLUTIONS..... (feel free to keep me accountable hehe...)
