Resolutions?

The year is coming to a close....do you make New Year's resolutions? I try hard not to make typical January 1 resolutions because I heard once that 80% of all resolutions are forgotten by the middle of February. If I am trying to make a change in my life, I don't want to be a statistic.

With that being said though, when all the Christmas decorations get put away and the house seems empty and clean, it seems like the "right" time to do some reorganizing of life. I received a great book for my kitchen this year. I love to cook, and I love to have all of the latest kitchen gadgets. This book actually goes through and tells you how to weed out some of the unnecessary stuff in your kitchen. I am implementing that system :)

The break from school for Nate is also another good time for me to make plans for when he does go back to school. I need to finish my certification for personal trainer. I have a goal of six weeks! I think that it's doable :)

As for all of the other typical resolutions, I think I will wait. My birthday is in a couple of weeks, and that is when I do most of my life evaluations. I think about the past year, and the things that I want to accomplish in the coming year. I will be 43 this birthday. That sounds old...almost middle aged. I don't feel old though, and having an 8 year old keeps me from acting old!

So in the next couple of weeks I will be laying out some goals for my 43rd year....stay tuned :)
