makin' a list an checkin' it twice

ahhh...it's that time of year again. the time for the yearly resolutions.

 i love lists. i had a christmas list for my kids. i always have a grocery list. i have a list of coupons. i have lists of stuff i should not forget to do. i make lists of stuff randy should not forget to do. i make lists for my kids.

however.....i hate new years resolutions. it seems like if you have seen one list you have seen them all!

i don't want to diet (not that i shouldn't or don't want to be skinny)
i don't want to stop eating sugar (not that i shouldn't - i am addicted)
i sure as heck exercise the way it is. (maybe more I should - more yoga would be nice)
i'm not in debt. (not that i don't want a new suv)
i have an emergency fund.(i could save more)

here is a list more my speed....

be happy with the way i look.
find joy in something every. single. morning.
find joy in something every. single afternoon.
find joy in something every. single. evening.
compliment atleast one stranger every. single. day.
pay it forward atleast once a week. not only at christmas.
seek change within first.
make split decisions.
never ever regret a split decision.
pray first.
be still.
listen.


if your are a resolution maker - good for you! i admire your willingness to take a hard look at your life to try and make a change for the better. if you are not resolutioner - but a "a list is my life every. single. day." - good for you! I think our goals/lists are important even they are made on some random day in june.

i think the important thing is moving forward and making personal improvements as need be.

i don't think it really matters if it is january 1st or june 2nd.

we all could use a little tweaking now and again.
