Behind the resolution : JOY

1. To have more joy and focus on the good.

2011 was an interesting year for me.  My job changed, and my life changed pretty significantly.  We found out we were expecting a second baby last February and I was really not prepared for it.  Anyway, I'm not sure if it was the crazy pregnancy hormones or not but I was really negative.  In fact I complained to my husband often about little things.  He patiently listened.  Eventually I became a little more self aware and starting to ask my husband if I was being negative, he gently responded with a huge YES.  Ironic to all of this is that my middle name is in fact Joy.  I used to joke that it was for all the joy that I brought to my parents.
This year I want to spend more time focusing on the good things.  I would like to post every week either a video or a blog entry about the good things that happened that week.  I also going to work on focusing on me and what's wrong with me instead of complaining about other people.
2012, the year I try this joy thing out.
