So my resolutions for this year included:
1) Doing a raw cleanse for ten days from January 21 - January 31;
2) After said raw cleanse eating vegan for six months;
3) Incorporating more healthy food into my diet; and
4) Blogging twice a month.
I thought that by intending to change my lifestyle that these "resolutions" would magically transform themselves into habits. So far, I haven't blogged at all, January 21st came and went and being a vegan is appearing less and less likely. However, I had a blog post waiting for me for some months and decided that I would upload that one and compose a new one with my alleged plan for 2011. If I could change my resolution or add one, it would definitely be to appreciate my friends and family because in a moment, in the blink of an eye, your entire life can change. My mother was in a really bad car accident last Thursday and was very severely injured. At the instant I found out, I got scared. I felt awful because I couldn't call her and ask her what to do. But as quickly as I nearly fell apart, I remembered everything she had taught me about the crises of life. "Read Psalm 91," she said. "Cry whenever you need to," she said. "Remember no one will ever love you as much I love you," she said. And it was true. And I felt encouraged because although she couldn't talk to me with her mouth, she talked to me through what she taught me and I appreciate that I had the opportunity to learn what she was trying to teach me all these years. And in the moment that I needed her the most, she was still who I leaned on. I love you mommy. Get well soon.
