Here's to the New Year
I wondered if writing a post about the New Year would be too prosaic but then I thought, what the hell and decided to do one anyway. I've never been one for resolutions but I think that with the year that I pushed behind me, I am in need of some resolutions. I thought of many but decided on three. (This year is all about setting myself up for success, you see). So here they are:
1) Write everyday. Yep, there it is. I said it. Call me on it, okay? I'm talking at least 5 minutes (because that usually ends up being much more) and e-mails do not count! Speaking of e-mails...
2) Spend less time online. The past six months I have been addicted to online pursuits. I'm not saying I'm pulling the plug entirely but the internet has turned into a huge time monster for me when I could be doing other things that I'd really like to do instead. See number 1.
3) Take better care of myself. This includes cooking more, (which is healthy and saves more money), spending time alone, finding a way to move my body and not have it be that dreaded "e" word, and saying no more often. I can't continue to be pulled every which way anymore. This year is going to be about me. Yep, I'm going to be selfish and I'm okay with that.
So now as my shepherd's pie bakes in the oven (see resolution 3) and the brownies are on standby, I'm already feeling pretty good. Ah and this counts towards number 1 but still call me on it when you see me around.
