Seeking to honest instead of afraid, able to communicate my feelings when upset, and seeking honest friends. But I realize brutal honesty is not always good. I think I have become a little too snippy at times. So this year I want to focus on being more true to my optimistic self: seeing good in everything, looking on the bright side, complimenting people. So my word for the year is Positive.annalisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208069352645033037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397651.post-1169065999377427992007-01-17T13:33:00.000-07:002007-01-17T13:33:00.000-07:00What a great idea.
