I love January 1st. It's a day when we get to think about all the new possibilities for our lives - seems like a fresh start, doesn't it? It's also a day when we put pressure on ourselves to make grand pronouncements about our resolutions for the new year. I usually make my resolutions and then forget about them by mid January. I have decided to be realistic this year and not resolve to do things like "lose 5 pounds a month," - (wouldn't that be great, though!?). I'm excited about improving myself, but I want to set goals that I can attain - honest and realistic. So I will list them here and by doing so, maybe I will be more accountable and stick to them...hmmmmm...so, in no particular order...
IN 2010, I RESOLVE....
1. ...to be more mindful of the things I eat - less junk and red meat - and to cook more and eat out less - in general, to take better care of myself - which also means being less sedentary at home on the weekends - using the walking path by my house once each weekend if it's not raining. This goes for me AND Ron!
2. ...to be more organized at work and at home - this means keeping my desk clean at work and keeping chores from piling up at home. This includes downsizing by cleaning out my craft room and garage.
3. ...to keep in contact more frequently with family and friends.
4. ...to read more and to write here at least once a week.
5. ...to be true to myself - no more hair color...really. What you see is who I am.
In making these resolutions public, I'm hoping it will keep me on task. I also reserve the right to modify them as needed. Let's see how I do. OK, 2010, let's see what you have in store for us! It's gonna be a big year - I can feel it!
