I decided this year not to make a resolution. I feel the word resolution combined with the new year is an automatic fail. Instead I'm making a to-do list of sort. Things I hope to accomplish in the near future. I know this sounds the same, but it's not. It's all in perspective folks and it all doesn't have to start today. So here is the list for the next 365 days.
1. wake up earlier. i would like to start the day on my own terms. not on my yelling daughters.
2. decorate myself. i would like my wardrobe to reflect my personality. i've sort of got a hodge-podge of clothing going on in my closet. i'm going for a comfortable, earthy feel lately.
3. cook more. i have recently found that i enjoy cooking with my daughter. who knew!
4. create an oasis. on top of landscaping the backyard, i would like a vegetable and herb garden. and a couple of citrus trees wouldn't be bad!
5. blog more. i feel better when i have a creative outlet.
6. finish the house. there are a great many unfinished decorating projects to be tackled.
7. get back in shape. luckily this one can't start until after i deliver our new bundle in may. so ha!
8. read. i love to read, no i really love to read. i devour book after book. but in the last eight months i have been a little slow in that department.
9. re-discover music. this goes along with the power of music post. i want to infuse my house with the sounds of wonderful music not tv.
10. be happy! in between missing my family and pregnancy hormones i have been letting sickness and fatigue overtake me. i want to stay motivated and stay happy. and i can pretty much conquer it all right?
