An Formal Expression of my Intentions

Every January, I think about joining the masses and resoluting to make the New Year a better one. Lose weight, run a marathon, make lots more money and build a house with my own bare hands! Then, just like most of us, the resolutions get lost in the year and nothing happens. As if I was suddenly incapable of doing even the simplest of them all. Mental block possibly?

In my little attempt to change that outcome, this years resolutions are to make smaller, more attainable monthly goals. This months goal is to exercise more. And, because I let go of my perfectionist feelings about it, I have done it. It may be 20 minutes now, but that 20 minutes is so much better than zero minutes daily and for that alone, I am happy. Exercise is something that my body has been craving and I have not been doing simply because I am already behind in all of my daily chores, my mothering skills, the nightly dinner and all of the billions of projects that I want to do. Excuses, excuses. Time to take care of myself and I am looking forward to it!

So, what about you?? Any New Year's Resolutions for you?
