I've just got to start getting ready about twenty minutes earlier.

    I'm with you on that one Val. It seems the day starts on a lot better
    note when you aren't rushed & frazzled by the time you get to your desk
    in the morning. A few extra minutes makes a big difference.

    Part of my daily reading for December 31:
    The idea of "twenty-four-hour" living applies primarily to the emotional life of the individual. Emotionally speaking, we must not live in yesterday, nor in tomorrow." AS BILL SEES IT, p. 284
    A New Year: 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes -- a time to consider directions, goals and plans. I must make some plans to live a normal life, but also I must live emotionally withing a twenty-four-hour frame, for if I do, I don't have to make New Year's Resolutions! I can make every day a New Year's Day! I can decide, "Today I will do this...Today I will do that." Each day I can measure my life by trying to do a little better...

    Take better control of my finances and not overspend. I make more then enough to live comfortably, but just blow all my money on trivial things. I am going to try to bank 20% of my paycheck and not touch it.

    Get back to the gym three times a week, I stopped going and never got back into it. My bad knee improves when I go.

    Up the length of the evening dog walk, I used to go for more then an hour, but recently cut it down to about 30 minutes, they are definitely more restless. The extra walk would do me a world of good too.

    No alcohol for a year. I don't enjoy myself more when I drink, I just pay for it the next day, and yes I am typing with a hangover.

    Happy New Years everyone, I wish you all the best!

    I didn't really make one this year. I guess mine would really be to not screw up my life because of something stupid that was my own fault. I very recently learned from someone I know that having "too" much fun comes with a price in the end.

    To clean the clutter out of my house. Last year I vowed to donate/sell 50 stuffed animals and I just made my goal at the end of the year. I started with 400, down to 350. I have too many knickknacks and just stuff. Hubby said a dump truck backed up to the door might help.

    I thought I'd make mine a realistic one this year.

    Take my desktop computer in for a check up. It's been sick and so slow for quite a while. I keep putting off taking it in because lets face it, it's a pain to get down there and unhook all those wires! But I vow it will be done this year

    Continue getting all A's in my master's program and lose some weight (about 15 pounds). I started my diet last week and I'm doing well so far. It's not holiday weight, either (not all of it anyway ), most of it is weight I gained the year after I graduated from college so it's been with me for a while.
