Once again the New Year approaches and I am puzzled as to what my resolutions will be. I seem to pull out the same old ones every year and I never seem to stick to them, but maybe this year will be different. Weight loss is always at the top of the list and I start out well but then life kicks in and I never seem to find the time needed to take to shop for healthy meals, much less fix them. The next on my list would be to learn the word, "No." I always seem to over commit myself into helping other people out. I know the feeling of being the lone person working on a project and I hate others to have to do the same, so I have a tendency to place my own things on the back burner. I am sure people probably think I never finish anything or that it takes me forever, lol. So.... so far we have weight loss and the word "No." I guess my third item would be to finally start developing the art I would like to produce. For Christmas I received a set of paintbrushes and two tubes of paint from one of my students and had another former student stop me to say they really wish I could teach art....maybe this was old St. Nick's subtle way of saying stop making excuses and get to work.
The New Year begins in two short days. I guess this time next year we will know whether this will be the one year that I stick to the 10th anniversary of two of my resolutions. Maybe throwing the third one in will be the charm for commitment this year. Wish me luck. As for all of you, may you have the courage to stick to your resolutions, follow your dreams, and have a very Happy New Year!
