New Year’s Resolutions? Not in my backyard!

Well, the big day just passed! I love changing over to a new year. Have you set up any resolutions? No? Good! I think there is too much pressure to change something on just one day. It’s a recipe for failure. Now, that’s not to say this new year will be the same as last and nothing needs to change.
Some friends recently told me they set their goals for the new year on Dec 31st. I like that idea. They will layout where they will go on vacation, what updates will be done to the house, decide on any new cars, plug in the numbers for college educations. They know where and when their money will be spent. GREAT idea!
I’m not as much of a planner as that but I like this idea and I’m going to try it, at least part of it. No resolutions to quit smoking (did that in November about 15 years ago), no resolutions to lose weight (I’m tricking myself by saying I’m going to get in shape and run with my dog), no resolutions for housing updates – that’s a constant activity. It’s going to be a good year and we’re all going to make sure of that!
Go set some goals, for the entire year.
