We sure never know how the year will be.
We make changes and changes make us.
I do not like resolutions. They are just statements that we make that end up making feel bad, because most often we do not follow through. I don't like intentionally making myself fail!
I may make some simple goals that I know I can accomplish. The above it definitely doable. If we want positive change, that is totally up to us. You don't have to do things that are drastic or dramatic - just small things that make difference.
Smile more. Unfollow negative people and things. Show gratitude. Get rid of clutter. Get excited about little things. Do kind things for others. Try something new...……….etc.
AREN'T THESE THINGS WE CAN ALL DO? They don't cost a cent and can make such a difference in our lives and in other's lives.
Let us make 2020 a great year.
Let us all continue to offer encouragement and advice to each other. Share ideas and heart felt emotions. Let us make this new year a new start - to going forward and making changes in a good way. Honoring others by moving forward and doing good.
In a week we get back to making new posts about being thrifty and frugal. YAY!
I so look forward to spending the year chatting and sharing with all my friends here. I love you guys and appreciate you more than you can possibly know.
HERE'S TO ANOTHER YEAR OF LEARNING AND SHARING!
I don't do resolutions either. I pick 4-5 areas that I want to focus on, such as relationships, finances, etc. This year I am really going to be mindful to stay in the moment and make each and every day special. The phrase "run your day or the day will run you" is going to be my mantra this year. Along with In omnia paratus. I'm excited about a new year and a new decade.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you! I look forward to your posts.
That is how I want to be - just focus on needed areas. I like that phrase - my oh my, that is so true.
DeleteGlad you will be coming along for the fun!
Happiest of a year to you as well.
Excellent advice - simple. straight forward, and something that we can all accomplish.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you and Happy New Year to you and all your readers.
Keep it simple - best words to live by!
DeleteBest to you and yours as well!
Here we come 2020!
I don’t do resolutions either! I prefer to look at areas of my life that I want to improve on and work at it on a day to day basis rather than trying to make broad statements for my whole year.
ReplyDeleteI do believe we set ourselves to fail when we make a resolutions and tell the world bout them! Sounds silly - but it seems to be true.
DeleteYes mam, if we work on smaller issues day to do then we are more apt to make changes. Looking forward!!!!
I've done resolutions for years, as you say they tend to be broken very readily. The first image is so accurate. I try to set goals, and work at them incremently so that I don't feel overwhelmed. Some I reach, some I don't...like that extra 30 pounds I'm carrying around. I'll keep at it though and maybe someday!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
I did the same for ages and was always feeling defeated. With goals - you haven't dedicated yourself as much.
DeleteYou'll get there - slow and steady wind the race!!!!!
Have a blessed one.
You know I never thought of the fact that we are going into the 20's. one hundred years after the roaring 20's. I am iffy about resolutions as I usually fail, but I try every year and get through most of the year, sometimes..... never tired of trying.
ReplyDeleteYep - it's another 20's! This one we get to see - the other one we just heard about.
DeleteYou are a super goal oriented person - you did fantastic with yours.
I don't have as much oomph as you - but I keep moving forward.
Yes!! Here is to another year of leaning and growing. :)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to it with all my friends coming along the journey!
DeleteI don't do resolutions either. They're much like piecrust promises - easily made, easily broken. I look forward to following your blog and fellow commenters as I learn so much from you all.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that there are so many of us who don't do resolutions. I am loving this. We can make goals together and support one another.
DeleteSo glad to have you here.
Love to you too, Cheryl. Your blog has been a rock I come rest on when the sea of life tries to drown me. I appreciate you so much for sharing the positive.
ReplyDeleteAw sweetie, what a horrible year we have both had. If you ever need to talk, just let me know and I will get you my phone or email.
DeleteI just want us all to know - even when the worst happens - life IS worth living. We must honor those that are gone.
Stay strong - we are here for each other. HUGS
I love your goals. Perfect and like you dId we all can achieve them.
ReplyDeleteWe can all attain simple goals - then if we want to make bigger ones, we know we can achieve them too.
DeleteI am putting a list of goals together, more to remind me to stay on track and for a little motivation. They are more general, but hopefully effective. I may need to add to to take things too seriously, as it woll all work out eventually. :-)
ReplyDeleteA list of goals is good - if it keeps you motivated and on track. Nothing wrong with that. Hopefully we can all motivate each other this coming year as well.
DeleteAll things work as they are supposed to in my mind. Maybe not everyone believes that - but for one reason or another we are successful or not. Just me!!!!
Good luck!
