What's on your list of things to do; things to change; resolutions for '08? I know, I know, they never work, and people hate making them, right? I totally agree with that theory. Me? Well, I plan to do less housework, cook less, worry less, nag less, bitch less, and to enjoy it all more! Ha! How do you like that for a resolution! Lately, I've deliberately slowed down. Yes, that's right.... I do things more slowly. It struck me one day as I was senselessly going about doing things around the house like a bat outta' hell.... It was ridiculous! I really had no where to be at a certain time, nor was I late for anything. So, I stopped and thought to myself, "What difference will it make if I get this done now, or in another hour?" I used to race through emptying the dishwasher; getting the laundry done; walking the dogs. No more. I'm enjoying that walk with my pups more; those dishes - well, there's not much to enjoy there, but I don't plan on breaking any records emptying the dishwasher anymore. I plan to eat more slowly, and enjoy a conversation with my family at the table. I plan to turn the TV off, and to engage with a real person, instead of a reality show. I plan on going to church more regularly, and focus on things that matter, not on just things. I don't consider myself a materialistic person at all, and I don't think I'm perceived as such, but I plan on simplifying my life even more. I plan on hopefully changing jobs soon and enriching my brain cells somewhat and filling my day with learning more, rather than with just existing.
I hope '08 brings you and your family all the wonderful things that life has to offer. I personally continue to wish everyone much peace.
Happy New Year!
