In Spanish we have a saying which is: "New year, new life" and I like that feeling of starting things over forgetting about the bad things and keeping the good ones.
These holidays have been so good for me, I could forget about studying and teaching and I only had to worry about having fun. Once again I had that Christmas feeling that surround us every year which I love, because I wonder if there is people that is loosing the ability of feeling something special in Christmas and I think that is sad....
I could buy all the presents in advance which is strange taking into account that I always buy them on January 4th (the day before the 3 wise men in Spain). But I did it because this year was going to be special, even more special than the rest of the years because my family from the USA was coming for New Year's eve!! I hadn't seen them in 10 years so imagine... I almost never have the opportunity to hang out with them so I was so excited about it, we went to visit a lot of beautiful cities that are near Madrid like Segovia, Toledo, Chinchón and of course Madrid! which it is even more beautiful at Christmas!! I had so much fun with them and even when it was 10 years since the last time I saw them it was like I've been with them all these years hehe. I'm used to live only with my parents so my house is normally very quiet and in silence but that week with my aunt, my uncle and my cousins it seemed to me that the house was very crowded and there was always someone to talk to... and you know that I dont like to talk... (sarcasm hehe) so when they went I felt sad and I miss them, my house is quiet again... haha
Soooo the new year came and I didnt even notice!!! So I didnt have time to think about my goals for the new year!! Honestly, I dont like setting new goals just because it's the 1st of January because we normally forget about them around the 10th of January hehe. But a few days later, I was speaking with my friend, she was a bit down because she has a lot of complexes (right spelling?) and I get angry when people have complexes, I mean, I know that everybody has some but I get angry when that affect your dailylife and you don't want to go out because you don't like your nose... so I had I kind of deep conversation with her and I told her that, as you all know, I'm in a wheelchair. I don't have a complex because of it, I have a normal life but do you know why? because I'm the first one who forgets about it and I see myself as NORMAL and what happens when you forget about your complexes?? that people forget about them too. I've been told so many times that after 5 minutes talking with me people forget about it and I dont know if it's my personality or the way that my parents brought me up or both but I'm so happy with myself and the way I am.
So, in that moment I set my motto for 2011 --> Keep being myself and forget about what others may think because people think of you what do you want them to think about you. What do you think about it??
