Resolutions

To clean more. To yell less. To stop sweating the small stuff. To do something I’ve never done before (with the exception of parasailing). To use more exclamation points. To do things when I say I’m going to do them (which means we’re having lunch on Friday, right?) To spend less time on Facebook. To return the books I’ve borrowed. To create some semblance of a schedule so I don’t fritter away too much of my day. To take calcium pills. To embrace cold weather. To always remember my reusable bags so I don’t have to carry a bunch of loose groceries to my car. To behave as well as I always want my kids to behave. To have fun. To plan a menu once in awhile. To speak from the heart. To write from the gut.

This year’s motto (not to be confused with This Year’s Model): Try Anything.

    Isn’t it funny how for some people being positive is automatic and others of us have to make the conscious choice?

    To yell less.

    I could stop there.

    My main resolution: choose the positive.

    I love Clean Slate! That’s a great one. I can feel my list growing…

    I could have written all of those resolutions with the exception of one. I love exclamation points! I use them all the time! But everything else on that list? I need to work on too.

    Oh, I have a motto this year too: Clean Slate. I’m trying to approach more things with less baggage and preconceptions.

    Sounds like some really good resolutions.
    My resolutions are to really focus on what others are saying and doing.
    Including what other bloggers are saying, so I can include a thoughtful comment.
    I’m visiting you from `MotherReader`. I’m doing the Bloggiesta weekend.

    Funny, mine is to spend more time on Facebook, since i miss out on milestones. Like a friend who has a near toddler, and i didn’t know.

    Good ones, Maddie. I think I’ll just adopt all these myself. Starting now! Hee.
