This was supposed to post on New Year's Eve! Girrr...Bad Blogger! Whatever you do on New Year's Eve,
please be safe!
HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE !
Do you make resolutions?
What if anything have you resolved to do?
Resolutions don't work that well for me.
I think of them more as
"good intentions"
or "the paving stones of the road to hell"...
because they tend to be things we are trying
to force ourselves to do that require
some form of suffering or deprivation.
No more resolutions for me!
I have decided instead to opt for
"making plans".
A plan sounds more positive and pleasant.
I have four!
Plan One:
Last summer I halfheartedly decided to quit smoking.
Like most halfhearted endeavors,
it failed.
I lacked a strong enough motivator.

Plan One:

it failed.
I lacked a strong enough motivator.
(Who wants to live forever?)
Plan One has an excellent motivation factor...
Plan Two!
To put money into a kitty for renting the cabin we just stayed in
and spending 3 nights visiting family, friends and fishing.
It will be paid for by Plan One!
The money I save each week by not smoking
is going into the Plan One Kitty.
Plan Three:
Get back to obsessive walking...
because I like how I feel when I do...
because it is something I can do if I want to smoke...
walk until the urge passes.
Because I can do it when I feel the need to nibble instead of smoke...
and because it is required for Plan Four.
Plan Four:
Resume losing weight...
by eating small portions of healthy foods...
and walking, walking, walking.
No diet has ever helped me lose and KEEP weight off.
Walking is my weight stablizer... and reducer.
So there you have it.
Now, what if anything are you doing to improve
your wellbeing or accomplish in 2012?
Whatever it is...
I wish you success and satisfaction!
If you do not have a resolution...
take a moment to look back over your year
and tell us something
that changed in your life in 2011.
