Resolutions

Jan 4th 2017

I have found myself in bed since yesterday afternoon.  It has given me more time to reflect on my resolutions for the year.  I don't believe in the traditional new years resolutions.  Instead I have been making life resolutions throughout the year.  I am focusing on me and making a better me.  My point is why wait.  I wanted to make a change in my life.  No time is better than the present. 

Last year I wanted to lose weight, keep a journal and such.  I did lose some.  I began eating better. Exercising more and longer. It wasn't enough to stick.  So this year I wanted to make some improvements. 

Instead of waiting until the first of the year, I started a few months ago.  I began walking a minimum of 5 days a week.  I started an ab, sit-up and squat challenge. I began not only keeping an electronic calendar but also a paper calendar.  Two weeks before Christmas, I began journaling again. On the spur of the moment I went on a date 2 days before the new year. On new years eve I agreed to go to the restaurant where my date works.  I took friends who always say one day we are going to do something different.  We had a great time. 

My resolutions for my life are to travel more,  go and do things, have quality experiences and to lead a healthier lifestyle.  Above all I don't want to dream my life. I will live my dream.
