Say "I am"....Wonderful!

I am not one for New Year's Resolutions. I feel that people always set unrealistic goals, that will never be met. We set ourselves up for failure. So in years past I have not made resolutions. This year I have one goal. That goal is to not be so hard on myself. I am my worst enemy. I will admit I have some OCD issues (who doesn't), and I want everything to be PERFECT. We all know perfect doesn't exist....So I am going to try and relax and see the good in others and more importantly in myself.

Last year my best friend introduced me to a song titled "Wonderful" by Gary Go. This song has a lot of power. (as most songs do!) I love this song so much I play it in my second grade classroom. My students cannot get enough of this song either. It makes me so happy when they all start singing! Here are the Lyrics to the song:


The person that you were has died
You’ve lost the sparkle in your eyes
You fell for life - into its traps
Now you wanna bridge the gaps
Now you wanna bridge the gaps
Now you want that person back

And all your ammunition’s gone
Run out of fuel to carry on
You don’t know what you wanna do
Cause what you want does not want you
If what you want does not want you
And you’ve got no pull to pull you through

Say “I am”
Say “I am”
Say “I am wonderful"

Say “I am”
Say “I am”
Say “I am wonderful"

If what you’ve lost cannot be found
And the weight of the world weighs you down
No longer with the will to fly
You stop to let it pass you by
Don’t stop to let it pass you by
You’ve gotta look yourself in the eye

Say “I am”
Say “I am”
Say “I am wonderful”
Oh you are

Say “I am”
Say “I am”
Say “I am wonderful”

Cause we are all miracles
wrapped up in chemicals
We are incredible
Don’t take it for granted, no
We are all miracles
Oh we are

Say “I am”
Say “I am”
Say “I am wonderful”
Oh you are

Don’t take it for granted, no
We are all miracles
wrapped up, yeah we’re wrapped up
Oh we are wonderful

My goal is to realize I am wonderful, and not be so hard on myself! May the new year bring you happiness and health! Cheers!
