2011 Resolutions

- Start date
Miss Brittany...Congratulations!! How exciting! Prayers going up for you for a safe pregnancy and a healthy baby Carson!
Miss Jane...I so agree with you about the media setting standards so high that "normal" women are made to feel inferior. That is why, whenever I'm having a bad day, I like to visit the site "celebrities without makeup". It makes me realize that the women we see on TV look so beautiful because they have half a dozen people working on their make up, a full lighting crew and then are digitally enhanced. I choose to live by my own standards and not what the Hollywood ideal says I should.
That being said, I feel the need to make some goals in my life for this year:
[] Lose 15 lbs. I do need to lose more, but this number feels attainable for me this year.
[] Continue to declutter and organize. Have done well in the past year, but the house still feels tight with things.
[] Find more joy in the everyday, mundane things. Life, every part of life, is a gift, and I MUST learn to appreciate it more.
[] Pay off 1 credit card (around $7,000.)

I do not normally set myself resolutions, I find that I was failing at them too quickly. I choose a word and try and live by that word.
This years word is STRIVE.
This years word is STRIVE.
I like the idea of the 4 categories:
Health: Get back to eating right and exercising regularly...need to lose 10lbs
Love: So many things I can write here...will work on attainable goals
Money: Spend less, plan better, stop charging
Friendship: I moved from NJ to CA last year and need to be better about calling friends on a regular basis. Time goes by so fast and I always feel better when I call a friend back East!
I think I will work with these 4 things and really, really try to do better!
