Here we go!

I've been thinking about New Year's Resolutions... but of course I have, haven't we all? And I think 2007 may actually be the year of sticking to them. I feel very motivated! Here's my list so far:

1. Watch less TV. This was a resolution that Sonepheth and I made in December upon realizing that Luc was getting more and more interested in the lights and sounds coming from that wonderful, magical box. So far, so good. We went cold turkey for about a week, and since then have been watching only the shows we like, no more channel surfing for whatever's on (or very little at least).

2. Rediscover my creative voice. I used to do so many creative things... draw, write poetry, make jewelry, work with clay, and practice photography, but lately I've been too caught up in whatever else (see number 1) to spend much time being creative. And I really need some art therapy right now. First thing on the agenda: a scrapbooking party at my aunt's house next weekend. Woo hoo! I'm really excited about this one!

3. Get back in shape. 'Back' being the questionable part of that phrase... but I'm happy to report that I'm well on my way! I decided about ten days ago that I would go to the gym every day (knowing I won't actually do that), so if (when) I miss a few days in a week, I'll still be going at least 3-4 times per week. So far, that's working. And I've also been taking Pilates classes twice a week, which I love, love, love!

4. Dress/ appear more mature. I'm almost thirty after all... I feel like it's time for a make over. I'm starting this afternoon by getting a way overdue haircut. Then (after I make some substantial progress with number 3) I'm going to add some more grown up clothes to my wardrobe.

5. Live in the moment! This one is continuous (of course). It's so important to remember to slow down and relax and just enjoy life with family and friends, 'cause that's what really matters.


Here's wishing all of you a happy, healthy New Year!
