Resolutions, or Just Improvements?

I am a person who does not like or handle changes with a greeting or with an enthusiasm. I do not like to have things complicated or rushed or changed often. In my own household, I pretty much have my own ways of doing things and my own methods for dealing or combating any kind of up heival.

I do like to , however, make myself a mental note at times, of things that could be changed or made better, or even made to run or operate smoother. This said, I do like others do, and at New Years approaching, I set a few self righteous goals, or challenges, as I prefer.

This year like many before, I am posing to get a better ahndle on my exercising regimen, or lack of. I need to get in shape, as I know that I am not getting any younger and that time is taking a toil on me as well as th fact that I have Diabetes, which does its part to wreak havoc, I am posing to start a regular fitness goal.

When the New Year starts, after all the festing from Christmas, as well as Thanksgiving, a person might settle into thoughts of weight and the amount one has. I like you perhaps, have every reason out there in our world of fastfoods, restaurants, and Pizza palaces, to find a healthier way to be. I need to start a regimen of walking, because I find walking therapuetic, and relaxing. Also studies say that it is a great and easy way to lose excess pounds safely and quickly. Sounds perfect, huh? I think so and have boiught into that for many years. This is one way I think I can make my healthier way of living resolution/goal, a possibility.

Now I am sure that with every good intention there is a sigh of hesitation, right? Well, I think I have found it on occasion and it has had it's hand in my back pcket for sometime now!

I want this next year to be grand for me. I want it to be the year when all my past due bills get paid and stayed paid on time. I know, who doesn't. Well, I have tried all this year, and have failed miserably at it. I need somethings to get me organized, I think. Maybe I will spend some extra cash on some organizers and things.

Maybe I will take the advice of my beloved husband, and get a filing cabinet or a station, where all the bills, and things can be sorted out into the date or the spce needed to keep on top of the situations that arise. Or better yet, maybe I will spend so much time organizing I might forget about the past due bills. Hopefully not. Behind every good intention, there is....

I think this goal can be achieved, just I need some tools, some much needed time to get it together, and I will be on top of it all. Or inder bunches of papers and bills. Ha!

Also I think this coming up year I will try and make a conscious effort to do more with my church. I fail miserably also at this. I need to become a active member of my church. Even though I have been going to the same church for many years, I have yet to know all the persons there. I have yet to be invited along side anyone, for any reason. Maybe it is because they think I am not intersted or too involved with my family. Certainly I hope they do not think that I want no part of the church. This should be a good goal of mine, and I think it will help me at the same time feel God's work. I will start by taking down names and finding out about what all is needed, done, or happens in my own blessed church. I will try and go to every members meeting, because, knowledge is power. Right?

This coming up year, I want to get organized at home as well. You know Martha Stewart has it made, Huh? She has all these storage bins, shelving, and places she keeps to the "T". I wish only that I had all her little people, so they could come over to my house and do my bidding as they seem to do for her. Do yoiu really think she does all that neat stuff by herself? I don't. One man's day would have to be overwhelmed if they were to take on such a happening all by there selves. Don't you think?

Any how I guess I will start with looking for sales on storage containers, of every shape and size. Maybe I will color code the things that go into the coordinate totes or bins. Maybe I will clean out the bedroom which we use for storing things and start a more official and neater way of storing things. Just maybe I can find enoiugh time in my busy day to actually achieve this, or maybe I am procrastinating once more. Anyhow, I intend to try.

Another thing I am thinking, is working on any hobbies I have. I like to sew, sing, and take care of pets, and others. Maybe I can extend this and find something I can do to amplify or indulge in. I hear that having a hobby or something you like doing is great and benefits you as well as others around you. With a hobby or trait, you like, you will be more happy, more attentive, more pleasurable. We surely will see. I see myself making quilts, pillows, purses, and such. Even taking requests from my children. They like to ask me to make things for them and I enjoy the fact that they like whatever I make, and that they display them to anyone and everyone. This goal of mine will requitre ample time, and will be a money endeavor. I will have to stock up on supplies, and I will have to have things handy and this might require ingenuity. All this considered, I think I will love this goal. I think I can do this one, regardless of any challenge it might propose. Great!

These are just a few things, worth mentioning to you, the reader, of what I want as New Year goals, and resollutions. I hope maybe I have brought something to your own atttentions, and thoughts. Maybe you, could set yourself a goal or two.
