moving on down the 2010 road....

I have never been one to make resolutions, but like

alot of other bloggers, the word GOAL has been the

IT word of the new year. I have been sitting here

contemplating what I want to accomplish this year

and what I have discovered (well it's not really news

to me) is that what I am lacking is FOCUS. I am a major

PROCRASTINATOR, and that is one thing that I really

want to work on this year. Last year, I felt like I was living

in a fog - I was functioning, doing everything that needed

to be done, having fun, traveling - but my head and my heart

were in a serious cloud of grief - trying to figure out my life

without my friend, Sandi - as she was a big part of my

everyday life. The wonderful part about getting older

(at least for me) is that my wants become less and my

needs become very simple. So without further adieu,

here are a few things that i would like to accomplish

in this fabulous new year - 2010:

• share smiles with everyone
• learn something new each day
• listen to my italian language CD's more
• and my french CD's too
• don't put things off
• be kind to everyone, listen more
• eat out less, cook at home more
• make healthy food choices
• and that includes chocolate
• prepare gluten free meals
• go to more cafes and people watch
• slow down and relax
• pare down my wardrobe with classics
• wear my burgundy converses often
• go on frequent and longer walks
• purge & organize my "stuff"
• take that yoga or pilates class
• plant more flowers, bring them indoors too
• get together with my friends and family more often
• get my community involved in
• Everyday Matinees For Seniors
• apply for grants for the above non profit
• buy fruits & veggies from the local farmers markets
• laugh and dance more often
• listen to music more often
• go to more live theatre shows
• go on more local field trips
• watch uplifting films
• take longer bubble baths
• enjoy a cocktail or two with friends
• read more amazing books
• travel to awesome places with Alex
• go on adventures with my kids, friends, family
• buy less, use what I have
• for gift giving - buy handmade or make myself
• be a grandma (this one is out of my hands.)
• ALL IN ALL,
• ENJOY LOVE, ENJOY LIFE!
