resolutions

Well, it's that time again.  Every year I make one or more resolutions...and by the end of January I can't remember them.  So does that mean I'm a failure?  Probably.

So here I go again.  Maybe because they are documented someone will hold me accountable.  But wait...isn't the point of these resolutions that I hold myself accountable?  hhmmmm.

I'll start small.

1. Take a shower every day.

2. Do yoga at least 3 times a week.

3. Work back up to running (I quit somewhere around 28 weeks and walked exclusively...and now that it is winter, walking outside with a baby doesn't seem like a great idea....any suggestions?)  Plus, I went for a run with Matt over our Christmas trip (thanks to my aunt and cousins for watching Graham!)...and lets just say that I was maybe 1/3 successful at running our route.  But can I have a break...I haven't run for about 6 months!

4. Try and keep my "problem areas" under control.  I have a "paper pile" problem on 2 main surfaces in our house....it drives Matt crazy, so I'll try and be better about keeping them clean!

5. Should I really try and have 5 of these?  Well, if I can...try to cook one "new" meal a week.  Wait, that's a big one...maybe 3 new meals a month.  Matt will appreciate this one :)

Feel free to ask me about these....I tend to give up easily.

I totally respect #1.

Also, you should do Grace in the Small Things- a 365 day look at the little things that bring us joy.

Your sweater rocked this evening! You are my HERO!

#1 implies that you don't already take daily showers. Just sayin.
