So I’ve been contemplating what my New Year’s resolution should be for 2016 and honestly it’s been a pretty difficult task. 

After spending too much time on Facebook just now, I came up with the resolution to strive to be happy this year. There has been so much death recently; making me once again realize that life is too short. With all the negativity going on in the world, I think it only makes sense to be a light for others. In order to be a light, I’ve got to love myself and be happy. 

So what will make me happy?

• Spend time with my family (especially my nephews and nieces)
• Spend time in God’s word (and working on some bible studies)
• Be more optimistic
• Go to at least 2 professional baseball games
• Help put on a successful Las Vegas #RelayForLife event
• Become a better leader for my staff at work
• Work on my health and fitness (including nutrition)
• Perform my Nevada Public Health Association’s duties in a timely manner
• Rebuild a relationship with my brother
• Work on my relationship with my mother
• Visit my aunt in Colorado
• Save to take CW on an east coast trip
• Reduce my debt 
• Read the Harry Potter series again
• Give my house a thorough cleaning 
• Keep my house a little cleaner
• Help out friends when needed
• Get my foot/hip problem fixed
• Take a trip somewhere with my mom
• Visit my pals in Reno
• Stay connected with friends and family

Here’s to 2016…learning, loving, relaxing, rebuilding, working, playing and  being happy!
