A fresh new year, a blank slate, a new start, goals, aspirations, simplifying. Meh. I am not feeling it this year. Hubby and I worked all day yesterday taking down Christmas decorations, packing things away for another year. Cleaning, vacuuming, and dusting all afternoon... There were no resolutions, it just had to be done.
I am not going to resolve to lose weight, to simplify, to organize or to be a better person. I am not going to resolve to make Max a baby book, he's 18, it's not happening.
I am not going to resolve to lose weight. I lose weight and gain weight every year. That's a given.
There won't be any simplifying. I mean really, what would I cut out? Family? Friends? My job? Blogging? Cooking? Baking? That'd be dumb as I have no goals to lose weight. Cleaning? I don't want to live in a dirty house so that's not happening.
I've been going to boot camp for 3 1/2 years, that's not going to change.
I have a new calendar system, the powers that be decided to stop making the system I'd used to years. I guess that's it for new.

Take it or leave it. It is what it is.
*Edited to add- This does not mean that I am going to sabotage my daily life, not strive to wake up and be the best I can be everyday. It only means that while I wish you the best with your resolutions, I will be be here as I am. And when you're had enough, stop by, for a warm cookie with your coffee or a cold beer, to cry in, if you need.
As Always,
Tami

I like this...I always make some kind of resolution, but as the years go by they have become more general; and I really don't expect that they will happen.
Maybe next year, I will become totally free as you are! :D
I Looooooove this! You go girl, I am with you!!! Shannon
My decorations are all down and put away where they belong... that's huuuge for me...lol
I think I should stop by for that cold beer you mentioned and reward myself for job well done!
Amen!!!! That is how I feel too!!!
Why didn't my comment post? It was wonderful...well thought out and very encouraging. unfortunately I can't remember what I said. But it was good. and encouraging. and accepting. Really, just imagine what you would have liked me to say and that will be it!!
Hope this one posts.
Yea. Now it works.
Back again! Just got your message!
Would love to have you come over and sit with me!!! My Christmas is still up so we can do the tour!!
What time are you thinking? If it's before 10 I must set my alarm, as I'm particularly lazy these days...but I would get up early for a visit with you!!!
Let me know!!!
It is good to just accept what we cannot change rather than dwelling on it and letting it take up room in our brains...well said:)
