No Resolutions

I am not making any resolutions for the new year. I decided this at Yoga, when my yogi wisely said (paraphrased of course) "If you're making resolutions, you are saying that you are lacking something in this life. Honor your past accomplishments, look at all the good things that have come to you and be true to yourself. Don't make resolutions for change, just make more mindful choices of what you eat, and the person you are."

So, no resolutions. Just more mindful choices for health and happiness. A ton of good things happened this year, Maddie came into our lives, John got a clean bill of health (no cancer!), Nate turned one, and Jack turned 3. We attended more weddings and saw more births than funerals, and we only had one hospital stay for one sick kid this year. We were blessed in '06, and here's hoping '07 brings as much happiness!!!

When I am in pilates mat this morning I will remember your words. They will be laced with profanity as I attempt to get back into shape!
Happy New Year! love, Julianne

AMEN!!! Resolutions are a waste of time and energy, and honestly, do you know anyone who follows through with them anyway?
Be grateful for what you have and for what you want... well, it will come to you in time. It's the little things in life that make a difference. Optimism is amazing, it will bring you the things you need and create a world you want to live in and your children should live in.
NO RESOLUTIONS! I love it!

2007 WILL bring you much happiness!
