It was an intense year, but not all bad.  Sometimes I get blocked by looking at the big picture, when the beauty is in the details.  I’ve got a lot to be grateful for.  With this perspective, I am brave enough to make the following resolutions…

  1. Live healthy – mind, body, and soul. I got off to a good start last year by starting an exercise plan, becoming mindful of my eating,  and reducing distractions.  I just need to maintain the momentum and stay focused.
  2. Get my act together. I got Unclutter Your Life in One Week for Christmas, and I’m devoting January to organizing and decluttering the house. It might mean less time with my beloved television programming, but I need a peaceful space to for my mental health. (SEE #1)
  3. Finish pending home improvements.  This doesn’t mean we’ll live in luxury by the end of the year, just reduce the appearance that we live in post-apocalyptic dystopia. At the very least, we need to finish painting.  This is on hold until I get #2 rolling – it’s an obvious prerequisite.
  4. Simplifiy everything not directly related to items 1-3.
