New Year's Resolutions...

I'm not one for making a lot of resolutions for New Years, mainly because I rarely follow through. Now, it's not that I don't WANT to make changes, improvements, or to learn something new, but I get comfortable in my daily life and I don't really take the time of think about these things. So, as January began I got to thinking what this year's resolutions could be...if I were to make any, that is. This is what I came up with...

1) Post in my blog more often. I WANT to blog - not because anyone really follows this or even cares, but it gives me a chance to express myself and I can use it as a journal to track the progress in our lives (since I don't actually keep a journal of my life). So, this is my first post of the year, and let's hope I do better in 2009 than I did in 2008

2) Learn a new craft. So far I am on my way to accomplishing this. I have been learning to make jewelry. I have a long way to go, but I am having fun doing it. I am really intrigued with metal weaving and have learned the basics. I am getting ready to make a really cool sterling silver bracelet and matching earrings (as soon as my online order gets here!)

3) Get healthy. Well, I'm having a hard time with this one since I've been sick off and on since December. Today I'm feeling pretty good and hopefully I am on the way back up to being well. I have several plans in the back of my mind on how I will become "healthy" and none of them are really appealing...LOL. I really enjoy good (bad) food and don't get nearly enough exercise. And then there is the addiction to coca-cola - I know this is bad for me but I love having one with dinner. I know I feel better when I eat well and exercise...I just have a hard time getting to that point.

4) Save more, spend less. What can I say about this one? impossible? I don't know, but I've gotta try. I'm tired of being broke LOL. And besides, we have a clinic to open soon

5) Lastly, stop procrastinating! As you can see, I'm about a month off in posting this, so this one isn't going as well as it could be. There is so much I need to do and I really can't afford procrastinating, but I can't help myself. I need to change this, especially with Randy's graduation and our upcoming move. We don't know where we're going or what we're doing yet, so I can't procrastinate on this one. We need to decide NOW and make our plans. One year flies by so quickly, and if we don't take charge now we will be homeless, jobless and broke...not a good way to start off a new chapter in our lives. If that isn't motivation, I don't know what is.
