NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS

Long ago I decided that New Year’s resolutions are simply a waste of time and effort; at least for me. For many years I was one of many who year after year made up a list of resolution for the coming year, hoping I would achieve most, if not all of it. Unfortunately, life happens and one way or another the resolutions go on the back burner, the year passes by and you realize you haven’t completed any of them.

So this year my only resolution is not to have any… I am simply going to enjoy life as it happens. It’s something fairly new for me as I’ve always liked to have some kind of plan or a goal or two. Not that I am going to just go with the flow without any direction. I still am going to have a plan but I promised myself to be flexible with it and enjoy the many surprises life throws at you at every corner.

Moreover, I’ve decided I am not going to constantly obsess about my body and will actually appreciate it. It may never be what I dreamed of but nonetheless it is pretty damn good, anyway! And my husband absolutely adores it!

So here it is: I will enjoy every day, no matter what it brings (I am an eternal optimist, after all…), continue to eat healthy and exercise for my health (perhaps increase the amount of it weekly…) and be happy! So welcome 2009 and let’s see what you will bring…
