2013

At the end of every year, I name it. Normally by the summer, I have already determined what the year will be called. I have done this since 2009...so it's a pretty recent thing.
2009: The Year of Natasha
2010: The Year of My Mission
2011: The Year of Adjustment
2012: The Year of Change

So the real question I have is...what will this year bring for me? There are endless possibilities. As a new year comes, I'm making goals. Goals are awesome. So far, I have decided that 2 quotes will reflect my attitude this year:

Well...the full quote I wanted but couldnt find was:

"Be of good cheer. The Future is as bright as your faith." -Thomas S. Monson

and 

"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he's been robbed. The fact is that most putts don't drop. Most beef is tough. Most children grow up to be just ordinary people. Most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration. Most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. . . .Life is like an old-time rail journey—delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."   -Jenkin Lloyd Jones

Resolutions:
1. Handle adversity with grace; don't complain so much (aka don't be a negative natasha)
2. Re-discover being independent. Embrace solidarity. (I used to love being single and doing things on my own....but these past few years, I have changed)
3. Be more cheerful. Laugh more. Adulthood is making me too serious.
4. Stop forgetting to have morning prayers.
5. Go to the gym AT LEAST 2 times a week. preferable go 5 times...but at least 2.
