Why is it that we set ourselves up to fail? What? you ask... well we start the new year with a set of resolutions (goals) that we would like to achieve for the coming year. So we set these high expectations for ourselves and when we look back at the year, we find that we failed.
The top resolutions that people make are *get organized *lose weight etc.
Should I make a set of goals for the year 2010? Will I meet these goals? or will it be Dec 31, 2010 that I look back at this and slap my forehead and say... oh man, I failed at everything I set before myself?
I figure I'll lower my expectations and see where it goes from there.
Resolution #1,
Blog more.
Resolution #2,
Lose 4 pounds. (if I gain it back its fine because I will have met the goal of losing the 4 pounds in the first place). Do I need to lose more? Oh you betcha, but hey... this is lower expectations remember.
Resolution #3,
Go through my scrapbook stuff and eliminate what has a 2inch thick layer of dust on it. (Which I'm sure is not acid free).
Resolution #4,
Drink more water. (I'm a tea fanatic, I stopped soda last year- however I still enjoy a soda once in awhile)
Resolution #5,
Tell my boss NO more often. I'm hoping this resolution will not result in me standing in the unemployment line. (I'm asked often to help her because other employees cant or wont carry their own work load.) Most likely this resolution will not be met unless I count saying no more often that includes "no I wont be late, no I dont mind helping, no its not too late to call". (these are all saying No to her, but in a different way that I would have intended a resolution to include.
Ok enough with resolutions. I feel these are things I can definately work on and achieve.
So If I blog more this will mean more scrapbooking because I dont think everyone wants to read the ramblings of a lunatic. However everyone wouldnt mind popping in to see the latest paper piecings or snagging a free file now and again.
Take care and have a great New Years. Be kind to yourself... you are the only YOU you get.
