It's 2009....

We had a pretty uneventful holiday season....no sick dogs, the cars all were running just like they should and Intermountain Healthcare didn't open a new hospital so as far as I was concerned life was good. We had our hectic moments but over all it was prettty relaxing. It is now a new year, a new beginning and time for those new year's resolutions. I don't know about you but I am one of those that always think that this will be the year that I may actually keep one of the many resolutions that I make on January 1st. For example...I am going to lose weight, that has been top of my list for many years, stop biting my fingernails was one also but I guess I sort of kept that one by having acrylic nails put on, organize my craft room, finish all the scrapbooking, learn to belly dance or ballroom dance, spend more quality time with the boys and Michael, make better use of my spare time, stay caught up on my journal and laundry, have a better attitude, make healthier choices in regards to my eating habits and the list goes on indefinitely. I usually start out strong in January but by the middle of February all bets are off. I am back to my old habits. But this year I have decided to try something different. My sister gave me a plaque this year that says..."Be true to who you are." Maybe that is what we need to do rather than set ourselves up for failure with countless resolutions is just to "be true to who you are. Kinda corny, I know. But I guess if all else fails, I will probably try to keep at least one of the resolutions that I make..belly dancing might be fun to try. Wish me luck.
