As we walk into 2008, it’s that time of year when we plan to eat less, exercise more, and make all sorts of promises that are forgotten by January 3. I actually like resolutions and take them seriously, but with more than enough on my plate of life, I thought that they could use a new twist this year. So instead, here’s my list of what I won’t be doing in 2008. Tell me what you think.
1. I will not sign up for any more committees. I’m on enough for the Film Festival, so perhaps I can inspire others to be on more.
2. I will not get another pet. I love mine dearly and they fill my heart and home to the brim.
3. I will not do more than one house project at a time. No ripped up floors and paint-taped walls simultaneously.
4. I will not sign up for any more magazine subscriptions. How can my life be “Real Simple” when they’re coming out my ears?
5. I will not berate myself for not having time to read or write.
6. I will not forget my friends.
7. I will not obsess about the dirt/dust in my house so I am free to use my mind for dreaming!
8. I will not say “Yes” to good things, so that I can say “Yes” to great things.
What goes on your list?
