Resolutions

I have never been the resolution type of girl. Although I will occasionally give something up for lent, I rarely resolute as the new year rings in. Anywhoooo... this week I had my students journal about their resolutions for the new year. What they were. Why. And anything else that came to their mind. As we were discussing them as a class, I realized that I needed to come up with some of my own.

After a couple of days of soul-searching, these are what I have come up with. 

* Give my blog a much needed face lift - I resolute to spiff up my blog :) 

* Blog more in general - I resolute to blog 3-4 times per week.

* Work out more regularly - although i have always been consistent with working out, with the craziness of the past 6 months, I have let my consistent habits go by the wayside. I resolute to work out more. 

* BE PRESENT - For the majority of you reading this, you all probably know that I am a major planner. And by major planner, I mean obsessive. compulsive. planner. During times that are supposed to be enjoyable and stress-free, I am planning for the next thing. I resolute to be present and to enjoy the wonderful life that I have been blessed with. 

* Tell people I appreciate them more. Whether it is my wonderful husband, my family and friends,my co-workers or any random stranger, I resolute to tell the people who mean the most to me just how important and wonderful they are. 

* Lastly, and might I add, most difficultly, I want to save more $$$ - this is one thing the hubby and I both want to do. We spend entirely too much money eating out, going out, etc. and we need to save more. We resolute to save. more. money. 

These are just a few that I have been thinking about. I know that they will be difficult to keep, but I am hoping that by publishing them to the "virtual world", I will be more likely to keep them! 

Until next time, be blessed! And since I resoluted to blog 3-4 times a week, you should be seeing more of me!! 

with love,
