Not in my backyard!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>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\u2019s a recipe for failure. Now, that\u2019s not to say this new year will be the same as last and nothing needs to change.<br \/>\nSome 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!<br \/>\nI\u2019m not as much of a planner as that but I like this idea and I\u2019m 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\u2019m tricking myself by saying I\u2019m going to get in shape and run with my dog), no resolutions for housing updates \u2013 that\u2019s a constant activity. It\u2019s going to be a good year and we\u2019re all going to make sure of that!<br \/>\nGo set some goals, for the entire year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, the big day just passed!
