Happy New Year
It’s 2010 and it’s a new day!
I usually don’t set new year resolutions, but this year I decided to give it a try. Plus, I tend to work better when I have a plan. 
So here goes, my two main resolutions for 2010 are:
1. Start a regular exercise program- the goal here is not to lose weight, but to become a healthier me by getting in shape and toning up. More energy is my ultimate motivation here.
2. De-stress and de-clutter- I don’t mean physically, although the hubby would say that I need to get rid of some of my books) but mentally. I want to learn to not sweat the small stuff as much in 2010. This also means cutting the dead weight. God sends people into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. As tough as it is when a season ends, or a reason is over, there’s no point in trying to hold on to something that’s no longer there.
3. Get back on schedule- this goal works in tandem a bit with resolution #2. Planning and scheduling will help me de-stress, but this one goes a bit bigger than that. In 2009, I made a conscious effort to put away my planner (because I’ve been accused of being anal a time or two, can you believe that?? 
) I was told this would help me relax more. Did it? Ummm no! Well, the experiment wasn’t a total waste. I did learn that I don’t have to plot out every little thing that goes on in my world; however, things tend to go a bit smoother when I have a plan.
Peace and blessing to everyone in 2010.
