New Year’s Resolutions—mine
are pretty simple this year:
1) 1) Write, submit, repeat.
2) 2) Continue my exercise streak. Today is my 635th
consecutive day without missing a workout (note that, for this non-competitive,
middle-aged+ mom, “workout” may not mean what it means to you. To me, it means
at least 30-45 minutes of something—walking, hiking, biking, XC skiing, yoga,
swimming—every day). If I can keep it up, next New Year’s Day will be Day 1000.
I didn’t plan that; it just worked out that way, but isn’t it cool?
3) 3) Continue that teeth-flossing streak I started
back in 2009 or so.
4) 4) Consider starting a new streak of some kind…since
that seems to work.
5) 5) Read at least as many books as in 2013 (50 or
more).
6) 6) Strive for balance in all things:
Balance
physical health with mental health (chocolate will forever remain a part of my
life).
Balance
doing what I have to with doing what I want to (enough housework to keep the
health department away, but not so much that I have to give up something
better, like reading, to do it).
Balance
being nice with putting up with too much crap (no need to explain that to any
of my female friends who are 50+, right?).
