New Thoughts for the New Year





New thoughts for the new year….


Okay..... let me change that from “new thoughts” for the new year to just “ thoughts’ for the new year. I think sometimes as we embark on a new year my thinking is the same….new start, new beginning, fresh outlook, correct the wrongs of the year gone by and make this year better, etc, etc. I had a pretty rough 2008, but 2009 was much better….now, what can we do with 2010 to make it extra good.


Here are some things I will do this year, many items were certainly on my list from last year….and the year before that and the year that. :) So, without referring to last years list (which I could probably cut and paste) here is my list of “things” for 2010.


I plan to………


…..blog more often


…..eat more fruits and vegetables…shop on the outer perimeter of the store…avoiding the many processed foods you find in the middle. FYI...I love processed food and it seems to love me back…. haha.


……be more patient with my children.


…..actually find 3 to 4 times a week to exercise.


……read 3 books this year….non-self help books for a change.


……clean out my closet and either fit into the skinny clothes or finally get rid of them once and for all.


……get through the kids clothes and toys that they have outgrown and neither boy can fit into.


Oh yeah, I also plan to be a better person, save more money and drink less soda in 2010. :)

NOTE: If organizing is on your list of things for the new year, we interviewed the author of the book pictured above, it’s a good guide to get organized, ORGANIZE NOW by Jennifer Ford Berry. Her website is www.jenniferfordberry.com
