2009

I'm posting this quickly, as my husband is in the shower and I don't need him looking over my shoulder at my resolutions! Maybe my haste will make what's important rise to the top?

My Brief Resolutions for 2009

- Try to walk a half hour each day (this is non-negotiable!)

- Say "no" if I really don't want to do something/go somewhere

- Make a little more time for myself instead of just complaining about it inside (If I can "make" my husband get the kids out of here for an hour so I can clean, then I should be able to do the same to give myself an hour in my little cabin, ALONE, without guilt

Nothing too exciting or life-changing, yet so important to me, Hopefully listing them here so I can revisit them often will help me stick to it all.

Now, it's time to chip away at another slab of the confetti cake I made yesterday!

Happy New Year, Alison! I like the new look of your blog. Your resolutions sound great to me!

Good luck with your resolutions, they sound good ones. Saying No is something that I have started to do, it's a hard one but it feels liberating.
The kids will grow quickly, I wish I had known that when I used to want more time alone when mine were small. That's not to say you don't need some time alone, you do.

Hi Nan,

And Happy New Year to you!
I changed the look of my blog because something never felt quite right with the colors of the old template. Also, we have 2 lighthouses in my town so I thought the new one was appropriate!

Hi Cait,

I know what you mean about time passing so quickly - as my mom always says "The days are long but the years are short!"

Happy New Year!
