I’ve been doing some “goal gathering”, too.

Here’s what I came up with:

1. Do one thing every day that scares the pee-waddle out of me. This includes most activities related to my blog.
2. Do at least one thing each day to show my husband how much I respect and love him, even (or especially) when I don’t feel like it. I need to put action to my love for this gorgeous man.
3. Try to be present in each moment, instead of always wondering, and worrying about, what the next one holds. This one’s a doozy for me. If there was a World Championship Title for Worrying, I’d totally be a contender.
4. Buy less and use more of what I already own (this applies to my clothes, books and notebooks. Especially notebooks. Most especially grid paper notebooks.)
5. Appreciate every day with my kids, even when having them makes my life almost unbearably busy, because they are not going to live with us forever and they’re just getting good and I don’t want to wish even a second away.
6. Run regularly, even though I don’t love it.

I’m a goal setter through the year, like you. I, too, have a goal set that just happens to be getting started this time of year! I’m polishing up my post on my plans for S.M.A.R.T success that I’ll share tomorrow! Come visit!

Do you have a mall you could walk at nearby? Our mall opens 2 hours before the retailers open for walking. A girlfriend and I used to meet at least once a week to walk with our (then) 1 year olds in strollers then we let them play at the indoor kiddie playground. It was great for exercise AND gabbing!!

oh my goodness! -6…that would keep me INSIDE. Wow. okay. thawing out my brain here. I am so with you on the exercise thing though. I think we kind of take being healthy for granted when we are, and realize that life is pretty short and we need to take care of our bodies when we are feeling not as well. I have been feeling really stiff and achy lately (partly the flu) and so I started doing some yoga. It instantly makes my joints feel better, and it makes me laugh to see my son all legs all pretzeled around, diaper butt sticking up in the air, arms grabbed onto somewhere, looking at mommy and asking, “mommy, is this right?” SOO cute. And motivation for him to learn a healthier lifestyle too.
Happy New Year!
