I didn't make any New Years resolutions. Haven't in years. However, I did keep the last one I actually made. To NOT make any more NY resolutions.
However, in December, I take some time to think about the passing year, and and life changes and what would it be thoughtful for me to be better at.
What things are more important, what things not so much.
In the last 3 years, I have been blessed with 4 beautiful grand children!
The newest born 12-13-2013!
So, typing this bites, since I really buggered up my left pinky, unloading the barbell at the gym, pinched the cr@p out of it, anyway, for the new year, while not resolutions, just things I need to take into consideration.
Workouts, get my bu** out of bed and do it first thing. I have no excuse. I had been doing them at lunch, but that was getting to be a pain.
I am working on how to change time management, to stick with food and workouts, but also spend more time with the grand kids, and along with that, my Mother needs help. My 96 yo gramma finally said she could not stay home anymore and went to the nursing home 2 days before Thanksgiving. So, now we need to clean out our hoarding Mom's house, so she can take the antiques, and Gramma's house, and get it sold.
In the meantime, my inlaws, have been in a large, farm estate settlement, due to the death of my DH's grandmother. Fight, fight, fight, fight!
That is finally getting solved.
Anyway, for the new year, while it's not a resolution, I realize, what I need to do is practice patience and forgiveness. With myself first, I'm no good to no one else, if I'm not patient and forgiving with myself.
Beyond that, some days will be good and some days, not, all of this family stuff. But, I have great siblings, and a great Dh, and we will get through it!
