New Year's Resolutions

I usually don't make many because they are hard to keep
1.Get organized - never
2.Get in shape - well maybe
3.Eat better - better what?
4.Spend less - have to do
5.Keep in touch with myself - really trying
6.Keep in touch with friends - sometimes
7.Learn to love me as others do
8.Learn who I am - not what my roles are
So see it is not going to be easy.

I have started some already and others will come in time hopefully.

6. I am going to start by trying to email friends once a month to let them know that I am still here. I spent two hours on the phone last night with my friend in California. I am calling my cousin twice a month. Now I need to work on getting together with more of my friends here.
4. I am gong to try to stay within my paycheck this year and so far out of one paycheck I have $40.00 left for one week. So not doing bad, for me.
3. Had a salad today for lunch and every day last week. I need to get more vegetables in my diet. I have also decided that I don't have to like red wine but why should I worry about it. No one says that I have to drink red wine, I can just really like white.
1. Get organized. Well I end making more of a mess when I start to get organized and then never get done because I cant find what I have put away already. So I think it is a loosing battle.
I know that I will never keep up with John as he cleans his car every week - inside and out - what is that all about??? And there is nothing out of place in his house. mine is at least lived in everywhere. Maybe I should hire him to come over and get me organized one room at a time. I would start in my closet. Wouldn't it be nice to have a closet the size of a normal bedroom. One that has a shelf for everything and a drawer for what is left. Shelves on top of shelves for shoes and purses. But then you would feel like you had to fill it. And then you would have to do the laundry completely. Not do a load of wash and then three days later, rewash it and get it in the dryer. Only get it out of the dryer next week end when you have to dry the load that was washed twice this week. Of course that load is now wrinkled so it needs to be rinsed again. I guess I just need a larger dryer so i can just keep all my clothes in there. Like I do my dishes. By the end of the week, what dishes are still clean are going to get washed again because I am loading the dirty ones in there before the kids come over and because the sink is now full.
2. I joined the health club again but put it off for two weeks so I could work up to getting my mind around it again. I liked it when I was going b4 but now it is starting it again that is hard.
8. I was told that I only know myself by my roles : Wife, Mother, Daughter, Grandmother, Friend, .........
I need to learn who I am and then my roles will fit into that. Such as: confident, passionate, concerned, loving, .... But I have to find what those are in me.
7. Learn to love myself - learn it from what made my dear husband fall in love with me. What was it about me then or what was I then compared to what I am now. Besides, younger, more innocent, thinner, more confident and trusted everyone.
5. Keep working on myself to get better and with God's help I will do that. Isn't this something we should do every day no matter what day of the year it is? And we should do it all the days of our lives.

Okay another one should be to write more in my blog again.
