no resolutions for me!

This year I was going to make a new years resolution....but, I never complete them..or get remotely close to completing them.



So, this year I am just going to continue on the road of making "lifestyle changes". Who cares if its just a different term for resolution! "Lifestyle change" helps me wrap my brain around it.



My first lifestyle change is to just move around more...it might help me lose some weight. The second lifestyle change is one that im continuing from last year. Its to have more color in my food(greens and other colorful things on my plate...not artificially colored....naturally colorful).



Heres a wonderful list of liestyle changes that have already been made and ongoing and some new ones i would like to implement.



-i would like to get out and go walking in the mornings......dont know if it'll ever happen but i would like to.
-im going to get my garden looking good again...i already love gardening, but i want to get the backyard done
-i want my life to be filled with experiences, this year im going to get out and get my kids into nature
-i would like to make the change of visiting family more


well, theres just a few. Im also keeping the same old ones like finish school blah blah blah. I hope I'll be able to finish school eventually.

My new years resolution is to post an....."opiniuendo" for lack of a better term, in this blog at least once a week.

This weeks opiniuendo is about running across old high school friends blogs. I have a few lovely and talented high school friends that I follow and they follow me on this blog, and I love them. But I happened to run across a few blogs from different friends that I went to high school with. And well, although lovely people, I thought to myself how "normal". Just, how "normal" these people were and it made me kind of sad.

I guess its the eternal optimist in me that wants to believe everyone wants to have adventures like I do or maybe the pessimist in me that wants, or wanted so desperately(in my angsty teenage years) to be like these people.

Let me explain, this particular group of people consisted mainly of people I went to junior high with and went to highschool together with. I always thought they were goody-goodies. And yes, they turned out to be goody-goodies. It made me kindof sad for most of them. MOST of them I said, not all. But this is what I discovered: some of the girls, exactly the ones I thought by the way, went off to college for a year, wrote and or waited for their man to get back from his mission(also from high school), got married,had babies, and are living happily ever after. Whats wrong with that? Absolutely nothing other than I think its totally convoluted. I mean, Hello! Go out and get some experiences! Experience different people, different areas, something other than living in a constant aging state of high school.

I was refreshed to read a persons blog that did marry one of the seminary jocks. Holy Hannah! She was having a bad day and not everything was smiles and sunshine with my perfect children. It was so nice to see that one of these perfect people, supposedly, turned out to be real.

No ones life is silly. Nor is what they put on their blog about their life. My point is that, I personally, wonder why some of these people never left "high school". Never left Magna. Never left their group of friends. Seems kinda like incest to me. So typical huh?

Im always so proud of my friends that went out and had adventures and experienced new things and new people. Like some moved out of state and some found totally new ways of living and thinking. Im so proud to read about a friends financial/life struggle to pull herself and her siblings out of abuse and is succeeding. I love reading beautiful words from a blogger friend that is such an awesomely talented writer. I absolutely love reading about the triumphs and the struggles. They let me know theyre real, and I hope, they like reading about how Im real.

But, going back to the group of people that are so "normal". I would like to see them prove me wrong. And not be so cookie cutter. Put something real on your blog people.

There is no apologizing for being fabulous!!!
