The holiday season has been a blur.  Shopping, wrapping, giving, visiting…  and tonight marks the end of 2007. 

I’ve never been one for resolutions.  I prefer suggestions.  That way, I don’t have to feel disappointed in myself.  When I hear the most common resolutions (exercise more, lose 10 pounds, etc.), I think that I have enough stress in my life that I don’t need the further burden of putting something down in writing, then not living up to it. 

So here are some things that I will try to do in this coming year:

Walk away from the potato chips

Drink more water and less caffeine

Put things away when I’m done using them (like I tell the kids to do)

Make time for knitting (15 minutes would be good)

Not grumble so much about the 15,000 ball practices and games that will be part of the springtime little league season

Make a concerted effort to let the kids help with the cooking because they’d really like to

Then teach them about cleaning up the kitchen…

Say positive things throughout the day and stop to take a deep breath before saying something negative (in case it’s not worth uttering at all)

Be inspired and creative from everything that passes by me each day

Wishing all of you a happy and healthy New Year.

Peace & Love,

Liz
