My New Year’s Resolutions are as follows:
1. Lift weights at least twice a week. I’m tired of feeling like a weeny and having a frail body. Go me.
2. Do better at maintaining my home on a daily basis. I want my home to be a clean and organized, functioning entity. I want its operations to run smoothly, which means investing the time in it to create organized systems for it. I want to change my perspective to view the home as something I must take the time to manage, a functioning well-oiled machine. (Not that, at present, I have a great deal of “operations” to manage. But, I like the idea of beginning to set up and organize the few operations I’m responsible for.) There is some manner of peace and rest in that idea as well.
3. Grow up and be a woman, for goodness’ sake. The seventeen year old who has been running my mind for the past decade has got to go. I need a new, more mature inner voice. How to force that change, I am not quite sure. But, perhaps acknowledging that a change is needed will help in initiating it.
4. Continue to nurture the inner Latina. Which means, I’m letting my hair get long, spending a bit more time in front of a mirror, wearing more colorful clothing, dancing more, drinking a bit more (having discovered Mojitos not long ago), and committing myself to enjoying life.
