New Years' Resolutions

A new year is synonymous with resolutions- and mostly unkept ones at that.

In honour of this tradition- I present my New Years' Resolutions for 2007. ( G- please let me know if this is correct use of an apostrophe- I think it's correct??)

In order to reduce the amount of self-created stress in my life, I will re-assess many of the things that I do and things that I have. Anything that I do or possess simply because I always have, shall be fair game and I will seriously consider dumping them in order to declutter my life.

I will be more conscious of what I say and how I say things. There's a bit too much "mom-ness" coming out of me lately and I don't like it one bit. I will think "hmmm - if someone said that to me, how would it make me feel?"

I will spend less time getting organised to do something and just jump into it. I don't really need to know all the details before I start--do I?!

I will slack less and work more- I will earn my pleasures rather than continually indulge myself in my books, music, lethargy... (fill in the appropriate pleasure).

-On that note, I'd better get back to doing something I should be doing (sleeping or something). So- what are your resolutions for the new year?

You're just talking about the one year, so I believe you'd want to say New Year's resolutions (in other words, the resolutions belonging to this particular New Year.)

But, hey, I wouldn't ask me... I mispelled a word quite badly yesterday and missed the apostrophe entirely. Typing too fast, I guess, and not paying attention. I am a dumbass.

Wishing you success on your resolutions. I like that idea of keeping things as rewards, instead of buying things whenever.

Me, myself and I said...

Thanks G- You are however, not a dumbass. Nor will you ever be.

Thanks for stopping by Beth- I'm glad you could take something away from my little ol' blog!
