I have been trying to make goals for myself for many years and I have started them over and over again, and I still haven't accomplished them. But this time I have decided enough is enough and I am going to change my life.
Right now my life is in a very stressful state, my 2 year marriage to a man I have been with off and on for over 20 years (our first wedding anniversary is Dec 14/09 and that would be our 20th) is in a downward spirial. My relationship with my children is strained to say the least, my oldest son (19) is planning on moving away in January 2010 and I dread the fact for I know he won't be home to visit very often. My 15 year old daughter is afraid to talk to me because she is afraid of my yelling and bad temper. My 10 year old step daughter and I have a child-babysitter relationship, one in which I have very little to do with her and leave all the decisions about her for her father. My youngest starts school next month and things have gotten difficult with him. I am always stressed out and unfortunately I am a stress eater...
I have decided that this is not healthy and I must do something to change it. I have been reading a lot lately on positive discipline and am trying to work on my mood swings so that I can be a better mother to my children. I am trying to reduce my stress levels so that my relationships will improve and so will my health. I have decided I need to exercise, try yoga and other stress relieving techniques and I need to control my temper.
So my Dec 31, 09 I want to have accomplished a stress reduced lifestyle for me and my family. There is no way to remove all stress from my household we have four children, and with six people in the house there is always going to be some kind of stress. My goal is to have implimented a new discipline method that will hopefully reduce the stress, and in turn will reduce my stress eating, which in turn will help me in health matters. It might not seem like a big accomplishment but I think taking this one little step will cause a huge chain reaction in my home...here's hoping I can get this one done :)

I hope you accomplish your goal. Living in a stress filled situation is not fun and, definetly, not healthy!
I'm so sorry to hear how stressful your life is right now. I hope that you achieve your goals! xoxo
You are a very inspiring, loving and pretty person. Somtimes trust and faith is hard. We are by no means perfect and what I like about you is you are honest, open and caring.
Ariel is a beautiful girl, just like her mother. Teach her your values, give her your love. You are blessed :)
Life is hard but with goals and God in our life we can change. I struggle dauily with my past as you probally know but I also decided to make a change. I don't want to be a victim. I want to be happy. I will be that person and when I look in the mirror I no longer see a reflection of my mother but me....I love myself, I am special, I am a good person.
I care for you deeply.
