Happy New Year!!
Don't know about you, but all I want is for time to slow down a bit. You know, so when I lay my head down on the pillow at night I can remember what I did that day. I hear people say how time seems to speed up as they get older, but I had no idea this is what they meant.
The sad part is, I don’t feel like I’m really all that busy. I listen to what others have on their plate and I am amazed at how much they get done. And here I have laundry spilling over on a daily basis, housework that never seems to get done and groceries to buy. LOL I mean, I have three kids who take up a lot of my time, but I love that. I just didn’t realize exactly how many different projects and activities I’d participated in until I sat down and looked back over the past year.
This is why I’ve decided not to write New Year’s resolutions for 2014. Instead I’m planning a New Year’s Revolution. That’s right.
A revolution (from the Latin revolutio, “a turn around”) is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time.

A change in power. (the power I give others. Just say no.) A change in organizational structure. (the chaos. I will find order.) In a short period of time. (hmmm…I wonder if a month is a reasonable goal?)
Yep, that’s exactly what I need! I’m not getting any younger, so I better get on the ball and make it happen. LOL
In case you’re curious. Here’s my game plan in 10 easy steps:
- Love more.
- Laugh more.
- Stay calm no matter what – it’s usually never as bad as I make it out to be anyway.
- Enjoy every moment – even the tough ones.
- Make more great memories with my kids, family and friends.
- Embrace nature and all its wonder.
- Write every day – even if it’s only a few paragraphs because it’s fun not because I have to.
- Stop trying to please everyone – it will never happen.
- Be myself and not who others think I should be.
- Stop trying to control everything!
