Resolutions circa 2011

Aah, resolution time!  Love it, love it, love it! 

Here we go:
  1. Begin every day right.  Before I even get out of bed remind myself how lucky I am and what a great day I'm going to have.
  2. Eat more fruits and vegetables.
  3. Lose 5 pounds.
  4. Keep better track of my money.
  5. Learn new things.

These are resolutions I've been mulling for a while, the first of the year is the perfect time to implement some small changes in my life that will result in keeping these resolutions. 

To wit:

  1. Just do it.  Lay in bed before you get up and think happy thoughts.
  2. My grocery list will include seasonal fruit, preferable ones that can be eaten out of hand, like apples.  I will eat a piece of fruit with breakfast and lunch, vegetables with dinner.  I will try a new vegetable recipe every 2nd week.
  3. Start walking at the track in the evenings.
  4. Configure my Daytimer calendar into tabbed sections that contain forms to keep track of my hours worked and payments collected.
  5. Take at least one class every quarter.  Say "yes" more.

Here's what I really want:

  1. I'll feel happy.
  2. I'll feel healthier.
  3. I'll feel stronger.
  4. I'll feel in control of my finances.
  5. I'll feel excitement and curiosity.

What about you?  Do you have resolutions?  More importantly, do you have plans for keeping your resolutions?  If you're getting discouraged, sit down and think the resolution through.  Give some thought to what you really want to feel, then make a plan to make those feelings happen.  It's not hard, but you will probably learn something.

Seeing as how it's January in Fargo, ND, the wind is howling around my house and my personal snowbanks are about 4 feet deep, I'm thinking of this:

That's right.  Spring!  Because it's going to happen.  I promise.  Pinky swear.

PS.  I love my smart phone.  I feel smart using it.
