Sticking to My Strengths

Happy New Year!!!

I hope that your holiday season has been fun and relaxing!  I had a great Christmas with my family, and spent a lot of time resting, relaxing, and eating.  Eating SO MUCH.  New Year's resolutions to diet clearly come from overindulging over the holidays. 

Speaking of New Year's resolutions, several years ago, I took the task of making them VERY seriously.  I wrote down my resolutions, broke them down into manageable tasks, made plans of how to achieve them...and promptly became so overwhelmed with the process that I just chucked the whole thing! I never looked back at those resolutions, and just resolved to do better and be better, generally speaking.  

Since that fateful year, I haven't set many New Year's resolutions.  I set weekly goals, but a yearly goal is a bit much.  I am always trying to improve myself, but have found that I set myself up for failure if I over-think something.  So I keep things simple, like Liz Lemon (I especially like the third one):


 I'm also completely with Calvin here:



I hope that your new year is magical and filled with adventures and wonderful things!!  I'd resolve to be a more consistent blogger, but I'd rather not and then be pleasantly surprised if it happens.  :)

Amen to all the above. New Years Resolutions are for chumps. Just kiddin'. I have never really made them and have just decided to live better. Save more money if possible, have the best garage sale ever this year, Get better organized, purge my house of unnecessary stuff and help my kids become closer to God. I've been talking to them about it. Blog post soon to come.
