Hello readers. As most of you know, a New Year is coming in at the end of this week. Some people make resolutions of things that they want to do in 2011. In my experience, resolutions do NOT work. They are made to be broken. After many years of this, I decided not to make resolutions. Instead, I decided to make goals that I need to accomplish before December 31, 2011 at 11:59:59. That way, if I mess up the first day, I have 364 days left to try and "git 'er done!"
Here is my list for 2011....
1) Lose weight. You know that had to be at the top. I have to lose some more more weight because...well, read Blog #6. All the details and reason is in there. (By the way, I am down to 30 pounds to go.)
2) Write a book. If this was a combination of a car and a resolution, it would have been an "every year breakdown." I'm not sure what the book will be, but hopefully it will be a good one. By 2012, it should be published.
3) Take a trip. It has been a while since I have been on a trip anywhere. It would be nice to see friends and family members. I have a list of people I should visit. We'll see.
4) Do better with Christmas cards. This may have been a downfall in your year too. For me, it has been a real failure. So I hope to be more organized in the next year. I might even get a "newsletter" in there too. I also want to better in the K.I.T. department. For those that don't know, K.I.T. stands for "Keeping in Touch."
5) Blog more. I haven't written many blogs in 3 months. Critics might think my percentage of "blog entry" is ridiculous. All I can say is cut me some slack. Wait till next year.
It is my hope that everyone has many blessings in 2011. I also hope that if you make resolutions, you try hard to keep them. Finally, if you decide to make goals, I hope you accomplish them. It doesn't matter you make a wonderful list or a wimpy list, they are your goals.
That's all for now. Take Care and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Good idea in not going for the usual failure in resolutions -- I agree with you there! We also have our "bucket list" of things to do this year. I was going to blog on that next week, but you already did it and now I'll seem like a copy cat! Keep 'em coming!
