Decluttering my life of stressful and negative stuff...

I'm not the kind of person who makes New Year's resolutions and I'm not breaking with that this year.  Looking over 2012, I realize that I had a lot of unnecessary and stressful things in my life that I just need to let go of this year. 

First, I need to accept the fact that I live in very boring small town where nothing ever happens.  I don't have to like it, but I need to stop being so mad about it.  There is nothing I can do about it right now, so letting go of my anger and resentment about the situation is a goal of mine this year.

Second, stop trying to run a business that is not successful.  I have decided to give up selling Mary Kay.  It is just not worth it right now and adds a lot of unneeded stress in my life.

Third, get excited about all the wonderful things that are going on in my life and stop focusing on the negative (like living in a boring small town where nothing ever happens) and get my head on straight.  I have an adorable son, the most amazing husband, the best family and friends in the world.  I have a nice roof over my head, food to eat and clothes and shoes to wear.  I have so much to be thankful for and I need to remind myself of this everyday.  P.S. Skype is the greatest invention ever!!!!

And lastly, allow myself to do things for me.  I am a wife and mother now, but I need to allow myself to do things that are beneficial not only for myself but my family as well and not feel guilty about it.  This is easier said than done. 

Starting today, I am going to make a great effort to be more positive and get rid of the stressful and negative stuff in my life.

I'm sorry that I haven't been better about keeping in touch. Is there anything that I, as your friend, can do to be more supportive of and help you declutter?
