January - a new month, a new year, hmmm...a new decade!

My birthday falls in January too so that gives me a double whammy of the yearn to "start over" - "be a new person" wannabes. That's not a bad thing though. It's good that I have a time that pushes me to reach my goals, live healthier, strengthen my relationships, and just be a better me!

So I've put together my own version of a few very simple and doable goals I want to work toward in 2010 to make a better me. How about you? I'd love for you to let me know what your resolutions are. I may want to make them mine too. :)

P.S. Yes, I know we are half-way through the month. If you read my blog, you know I've had a little going on at my house lately. (Which is why I'm keeping them SIMPLE!) 1. Put some SPICE in my life!

I'm going to treat myself to something special, once a month or week if time permits. What the heck, maybe even once a day!! Nothing big or expensive, mind you. Enjoying a manicure or pedicure even if I have to do it myself, reading a good book, or maybe just a cup of fancy tea. 2. Drink plenty of clear clean WATER!

In fact, with babies living with me, buying a whole house filter system is on my list. 3. Try something DIFFERENT.

Live outside my comfort zone. Go somewhere I've never been. Do something I've never done.
4. Eat foods that GROW ON TREES...

and from God's good earth.

5. Take time to be CREATIVE.

With my hands pretty full lately, I will have to MAKE time for this, but I'm going to try. 6. PRAY without ceasing.

When I wake up and lie down and when I'm working throughout the day.

7. Get lots of good REST and SLEEP.

Which means walking away from the computer late at night! :)

8. Take brisk WALKS daily.

It's good for the body and soul. 9. Lastly, remember to SMILE...

even at strangers. :)

Have a good day, good month, good year, hey, good decade! I'm headed for a brisk walk, well,.. right after I change his diaper.
