Shamelessly stolen from my cousin off Facebook. Thanks for the daily inspiration, Lori!
This completely sums up the extent of my resolutions for this new year. I toyed with the idea of having actual resolutions, but they are just a repeat of what I hoped to accomplish the previous year and all the previous years before.
Even as I type this, I am envisioning myself pedaling 3000 miles on my bike, killing it in the gym, writing like a fiend, and turning back time and genetics until I’m 5’10”, blonde, built like a brick shit house and author of a best seller. Damn! I look goood!

A girl can only take so much reality before breaking out the chocolate cake.
Speaking of, we had some tonight for Dave’s birthday. Homemade – my mom’s recipe she used to make for us when we were kids. Homemade frosting too. Yeah, I rock.
It really is as good as it looks.
My point is – I tend to over blow things. Knowing this about myself does not keep me from doing it.
So this year, my only resolution is to be grateful in all circumstances. The good, the bad and the ugly. Even when I want to shake my fist and scream at God. Because this is my life, and while I may not always get to choose what happens to me, I do get to choose how I will react to it. Yeah, I know – I sound like a cliche, but I am learning that this is the only way to have peace in the midst of turmoil. To have joy in the midst of pain. God is good. All the time.
So that’s really all I got today. Plus, remembering to write “2015” really will take up most of my bandwidth for the first three months. We’ll talk again in March. Ha!
The cake queen,

That cake looks fantastic!
All the best to you in the New Year. And, I agree – God is good. All the time. – Absolutely!
He is! Thank you for your kind comment – wish I could get you a piece of the cake. It’s pretty darn good. 🙂
Amen!
🙂
Sounds like a sensible approach Sue. Good luck with getting that year thing straightened out because I would like to hear from clever you more often!
Finally! Someone who thinks I’m sensible! Haha! Thank you for all of your support Sue- my brain gets so clogged with things I can’t control-it’s time to let it go. Here’s to honing that skill in 2015. 🙂
I have found as the years have gone on Sue I have become much better at letting go. Much less stress that way. 🙂
I have missed your stories. Yiu hit it right on the head. I feel grateful every day and I’m doing well. We need to meet for cake soon;
Thanks, Lisa. I agree on getting together. I will message you on FB.
haha, very funny! excellent resolution, very practical!
I know, right? 😉
Love your photo, the real one. What are you holding? I’m not going to tell you what it looks like … hey, something to be grateful for in 2015–there’s a new movie called Cake!
A movie called Cake? A must see!
Oh, and im holding packets of dye for the color run i was about to do. 🙂
