Resolutions

Well, it’s that time again… time to make those dreaded New Year’s Resolutions.  I’ve got quite a few, and hope to actually achieve most of them!

#1: Rid the house of the majority of the stuff in the garage, the storage cubbies and the basement.   I will need hubby’s help, but since much of it is his, we’ll hopefully accomplish this tpgether by Memorial Day (end of May) in time for the onslaught of garage sales!

#2: Lose about 7-10 pounds - hopefully in certain key areas! (hah!) Seems like I hit 41 years old, and suddenly got a spare tire and "thunder thighs".  I am up to 127 pounds.  Would like to be around 118.  (farewell, icecream! waaah!)

#3.  Take a brisk hike in the woods at least 2x a week starting this spring- when it’s at least warm enough not to catch pneumonia! This should also help with #2.

#4. Do a stunning backbend and handstand for my yoga.  Need to get those dratted hamstrings to loosen up first.  Among the many many things I would love to do for my yoga. Maybe just the backbend???

#5.  Learn Tai-chi.  Hubby wants to do it with me. Wouldn’t that be cool?!  Maybe our little girl would try it too.

#6: The most important, and probably the hardest: Live up to our new "Year Verse":   "A Gentle Answer Turns Away Wrath".  It’s in the Book of PRoverbs, somewhere.  We both need to relax, not over-react, and just "be cool".  Especially me, since I am so sensitive, and mirror hubby’s mood too easily. Then it all goes downhill from there.

Sooo… there you have it.  Feel free to check up on me, and pester me about them!  HAH!
