It's early morning on New Year's Eve. 2019 is wound up like a Jack-In-The-Box, ready to spring itself on us just past tonight's moonrise and one glass of champagne too many.
But for now, while the new year may be peeking through the slit in the curtains and tapping its toe in impatience, it's still 2018. I'm old school enough to buy into the 'new year, fresh start' thing but I hate hackneyed resolutions. I've made some simple promises to myself and will be sharing my progress from time to time on how they are coming along (I think #4 will be the hardest!).
Ready for my 2019 non-resolutions? Here we go!
I promise myself to:
1) Be aware of and present in every lovely moment of each day. I will honor each season for its merits and not wish away any time.
2) Gift myself at least two hours a day to write. From this writing time, I will submit a blog entry every day at 5:00am with a link from my Facebook page (if I can figure out how to do that on Blogger).
3) Work in some form of physical activity every other day. No excuses. No whining. No wimping out.
4) Take a wine sabbatical from 1 January - 31 March. A healthy liver is a happy person!
5) Continue the gift of health by eliminating sugar from my diet. I will get back to healthy eating through Keto. My goal is health, not becoming a size 2 and weighing 110 lbs.
6) Faithfully contribute every day to the Penny Challenge. My reward on December 31st of 2019 is to use the money I saved for a totally paid for cruise in February 2020!
7) Nurture my family relationships and my friendships.
8) Volunteer more.
9) Set and keep boundaries that will enable me to keep the promises I made above.
Easy-peasy stuff, right?????
Bring it on, 2019. Bring it on.
