My sister-in-law and I have resolved to doing in once a month outside of our homes so we can actually get some done. <br /><br />Ugh. We'll see if any of it happens!

The past several years I just haven't been into it, just haven't felt the excitement that Christmas used to elicit. Maybe it's the stress of being a Mom, dividing my time between Hanukkah at our house and Christmas with my family, dividing that time between my Mom & my Dad so that no one feels slighted, and the simple fact that the retail stores start pushing Christmas down our throats before summer is even over now.<br /><br />I don't even know that I'm up for a New Year's resolution. I mean, am I really going to stick to it? Every year I think about losing weight, getting in shape, writing more, keeping my house clean, trying to be more patient, etc, etc, etc. (Not necessarily all at once!) And every year, whatever I choose to focus on that year, I start out gung-ho and jump off the starting block of January 1. And by mid-March or mid-April, I'm losing my stride and faltering in my efforts. By the time summer comes, I've given up completely. Then I feel like a giant loser because I can't manage to do one stinking thing for myself!<br /><br />So, this year I think I'll resolute not to have any resolutions and just live my life and be the best I can be each day.<br /><br />Becky :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33589093.post-91811154678062178662006-12-28T08:58:00.000-05:002006-12-28T08:58:00.000-05:00Ah, the joys of the holiday season.

Turns out being lonely from actually living & spending most of my "free" time by myself is one type of lonliness--feeling utterly alone while surrounded by people, a different level of pain that I apparently was entirely unequiped to deal with. <br />My new year resolution is also focused on family--to be the best mom I possibly can, and to not let the laundry pile directly correlate to my self worth. <br />Have a happy new year!!Ms. Skywalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611709391769911868noreply@blogger.com
