I'll use any excuse to start fresh. And this time, it's Liz's birthday. I make up my own rules as I go along. Much easier this way. I don't let anyone down, especially me. 32 resolutions until my birthday in 2 months.
1. Write! Even if it's just drafting and saving and deleting.
2. Don't let others be buzzkills to my joy.
3. Juice (especially when I have fruit/veggies in fridge)
4. Don't hoard stuff I really don't need.
5. Run
6. Don't talk shit about people who annoy me (this will be hard).
7. Water my plants
8. Schedule dates w/ husband as this does not organically occur w/ kids around
9. This is suuuuuper cheezy, but here goes: don't sweat the small stuff.
10. Create fun menus.
11. Entertain friends with fun food.
12. Progressive parties.
13. Plan an overnight camping trip with Eric
14. More dates with my children (individually)
15. Start making holiday gifts now!
16. Don't obsess over things I can't control
17. Do things that make me laugh out loud (so cliche, but who cares)
18. Write to friends through snail mail (thanks for this liz)
19. Hug my husband (insert "zoe" & "zane" here) when I am mad at him (or her)
20. Take the kids to see my parents more often
21. Don't let other people's (even family members') problems be mine
22. Sketch often
23. Clean out the closet regularly
24. Clean out the fridge regularly
26. Appreciate my good health when I have it
...This is really hard
27. Read good literature and write about them (A. you are my hero)
28. Don't feel guilty about having a nice strong drink if I want one.
29. In fact, don't feel guilty so often.
30. Keep learning new stuff
31. Make some money!
32. Be thankful more often of the little things.
Some of the stuff on here is so cheesy, but I needed to write it down because I can't remember anything these days! Even things that are so common sense.
Yeah! Keep writing! I love it! I will be looking at your list again and again for inspiration. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks A! Don't you just love my new design? I think it's making me want to write! Can you believe I posted twice in one day? I think that's my new approach...just write. Who cares?!
