New year resolution review



For the first time in history,I actually wrote down my new year resolution in January 2012 as against mentally storing them somewhere, so now I get to review how I fared....

1. Church attendance, prayers and daily Bible study must improve this year.

Performance : hmmm....let me tell the truth and shame the devil, Church attendance is  still somewhat erratic,  prayer time has improved, but I really do need to create a "me time" for Bible study.

2. Show more patience and understanding to my darling kids (sulking at them for throwing tantrums is now a thing of the past).

Performance: ha ha ha ha! I must have been high on sontin when I wrote that! All I know is that my white tuft of hair has increased this year, and no, I didn't dye my hair.

3. I need to be more flexible to accommodate Oga's skills in flexibility. (He can have 20 options for one scenario!)

Performance: I must award myself an A plus for that. Oga changing his plan several times at the last minute doesn't upset me like it used to.....

4. Deliberately ignore some of my nanny's skoin skoin and concentrate on her good points.

Performance: Yay! No more skoin skoin because she has finally left! Oh Joy!

5. Say a big No! No! to all these mallams that sell suya in our area (after all I didn't receive any Christmas gift/hamper or even ordinary card  from them upon all my patronage). 

Performance: To be honest,the first 6 months of the year was spent not following this resolution, but no thanks to boko haram scare of mass poisoning through suya spices, I'm officially cured!  I refuse to be a scapegoat! Not forgetting the suya portions that keep shrinking every time I buy suya .


6. Exercise more regularly and eat healthy foods as well (Red Velvet cake and fast-food joints I rebuke y'all!) 

Performance: It started very well initially, but the last couple of months has been exercise free and fast food loaded. Red velvet cake surfaced like twice throughout the year (yay!). I need to discipline myself better in respect of my exercise regime OR eat less fast food.

7. Stop avoiding Third Mainland bridge! (stay in the middle lane and put on hazard lights and I'm very sure no one will bother me). 

Performance:  pele o speed racer, Next point please!

8. Expand my business and look for ways to earn extra income .
Performance: I've  tapped into the food  Business the last few months of this year  to earn extra income, hopefully the Business will grow bigger with time, I just need to exercise patience.

9. Remember the needy and try and touch someone's life positively. 
Performance: Thank God I've been able to do that, however small it was.

10. Learn to appreciate  both my nuclear and extended families more, no matter what. 

Performance: Errrrrm...they are the ones that can answer that, but I think I did sha.
