New Years Resolutions {Tradition}

 We have a New Years Tradition at our house of going out to eat Chinese Food at the start of each New Year.  Last night we did just that and just look at what my fortune has in store for me!


With the start of a New Year approaching us it brings the promise of a fresh start for some.  Many people take this time to make changes or to resolve to get rid of a bad habit or just to take the chance at trying something new!  So what shall I do?


 Learn something new by taking a class online ~ 400 Free Online Courses from Top Universities
 Find a new book to read at ~ My local Library
 Find a new hobby or exercise program to take up at ~ My local Recreation Center
 Find a group that needs my help at ~ My local Volunteer Organization
 Learn a new skill at ~ My local college

Be BRAVE ~ Step out of your BOX ~ Try something NEW!

Or I could just continue to do what I can when I can
like ~
Take care of me!
Take care of my family.
Work a little harder.
Play a little harder {well maybe not too much}!
Laugh a little more {is that even possible}?!
Organize and clean my home.
Do something nice for a neighbor.
Make a new friend or two!
Schedule my time better.
Learn and practice a new skill.
Get back into an old hobby.

Step by step, little by little it all seems to get done somehow and what I don't accomplish never hurts me {too much} and it will ALL still be sitting there looking at me as I ponder on these very thoughts next New Years!

So whatever you find yourself doing this New Years I hope it is a step in a positive direction for you and that you can do it with an honest smile.  I feel that being positive is the best thing you can do for yourself!
