Taylor - Made

The past couple of New Years I slept right through the ball dropping. Although I had the intention to stay up, it just didn’t happen. I was snoozing before the clock strucked midnight.

This New Year’s Eve however, I am staying awake, even if I have to drink a pot of coffee. I want to make sure I’m awake to kiss 2020 aufwiedersehen.

Despite the Corona Virus outbreak, this year wasn’t all that horrible. I mean, not for me at least. 2020 was essentially perhaps one of the better years for my husband and I. We both got remarkable jobs, moved into a new apartment, discovered a home church and we’re both happier than we have been in a long time.

I can’t wait to see what 2021 has in store for me and my family. It’s a whole new year with infinite amounts of possibilities. One thing though, that I will not be doing, is making any New Year’s resolutions. I never could see what the hype was about this. To me, it’s just a way to set myself up for failure. Every resolution I’ve made in the past has fell through. I literally would ‘drop the ball.’ I either made unattainable goals for myself or set resolutions that I truly didn’t want to accomplish. So, I stopped making them a long time ago.

Instead, I’m just going to enter the new year with a more optimistic, confident mindset and try to be a better person than I was the previous year. Is that a resolution? Maybe. Do I consider that a resolution? Nope. Why? Because that is something I aim to do all the time, no matter what day it is.

I hope that everyone has a good New Years. If you do set resolutions for yourself - I hope they work out for you, and if you go out to a party - please be safe. As for me and mine, we will be bringing in the new year cuddled on the couch watching the ball drop.

Happy New Year!
