End of the Year Self Evaluations

    As many people do when a year comes to an end, they make goals. Well, I don't making goals. Only because if I don't achieve them, then I feel lousy about myself. Instead I make self evaluations and how to improve myself.
  
     This year I learned a few things about myself. For one, I am most like my grandfather Shameus. I always cringed when they said "You got the Sha Sha in you." Only because I always wished they would say I was sweet and gentle like my grandmothers. But, after losing him this past year. I realized its not a bad comparison. My grandfather was the most friendliest, hilarious, determined man I have ever met. He wasn't afraid to say what's on his mind. It could be about the Bible, to how fat you have gotten, or even how he admired you as a person. After realizing I missed opportunities only because I wasn't able to speak up. I came to conclusion that I need bring my inner Sha Sha out. Now, I won't tell a person they gained weight. But, I won't miss opportunities to speak my mind (all of good reason, of course.) What I mean is that I won't be ashamed to start a conversation about the Bible. Or to tell a family or friend how much I care about them and what they mean to me. We only have a limited time and we have to take opportunity while we can. I am so tired of living with "what ifs" and "what could have happeneds." So this year, I won't allow it to happen.

   I have no idea what this year has in store for me. I going with an open mind and taking opportunities while I can. Because one thing my grandfather always said "Life is for the living." You can't live with regrets and that's something I won't allow myself to have.

Hope everyone has a glorious year!
