This evening we welcomed the new year by having our traditional New Year's dinner, courtesy of a mix from my mom and dad's side of the family. Our meal consists of pork, cabbage with quarters (every family member needs four quarters), black eyed peas (I have to mix them in with baked beans) and cornbread. These dishes are said to bring us luck and good fortune through the new year.
2009 was a wonderful year but we are looking forward to our very exciting 2010!
I have thought about making some resolutions and the ones that I have come up with are not too exciting but necessary and seemingly difficult at least for me...
1. I'm going to TRY to let go, relax and not be in control of everything.
2. I'm going to TRY to accept help when offered and ask for it when I need it.
3. I'm going to TRY to do things just for me and enjoy them (and not feel guilty).
4. I'd LOVE to start and finish a book that does not include Sesame Street characters, animals, numbers, the alphabet, Princesses or anything educational.
5. I would really like to throw away more, including junk mail instead of moving it from one pile to another, and make our home more clutter free.
OK...I think that's enough for me to bite off for one year. Mike will be doing a post to state his resolutions as well.
Well, 2010 here we come!!
