Changing the date isn't going to change me! LOL. I am the same old me. I do NOT make resolutions, haven't for years. I found it only set me up for disappointment. No need for that - there are enough other things in this world that can be disappointing. Sooooooo - I plan on a couple GOALS for the year - that's it.
Definitely words to live by!!!!!!!!
- I do NOT set a budget! I know how much I have coming in - and I know how much my basic bills are - that is my budget!! I basically spend half or less on my bills from my income - the rest goes to savings. I live very simply, so no big expenses. IF I decide I want something or need something or have an emergency - I am covered
- I make NO resolutions. I set goals. Hopefully I fulfill my goals - if not - well I tried
I hope to just become a better person this year. Kinder to others. I want to give/help more.
I plan on doing a few home improvement projects. Nothing big - just some updating - all things I can do myself. Painting maybe, more decluttering, maybe a bigger garden, just odds and ends. Goodness, there are so many projects and things that can be done in/around the house. I think everyone can agree with that. MAYBE I will look for some new living room furniture this year finally. It isn't a necessity - but a want. We'll see.
I plan to stay out of the grocery this month as much as possible. I have lots of supplies here. I will use up older items and just be a good steward of what I have.
Staying home, also keeps me healthy!
Don't get me wrong, I am not scared - just cautious. I refuse to run scared. I continue to be cautious, as I have all along. Life is too short to not enjoy it - just use a little common sense. I will still do what I want this year - I can hunker down in these cold months - so I can get out and DO in the warmer months.
So basically, there will be NO new me - just the same old me, just trying to do a little better.
Do you make resolutions? Do you set goals? Maybe just plan on doing the same as every year - survive!
I think basically people are all alike - no matter where they live. They want to be happy, safe and healthy. These are the basics and hope we all get to experience all of them this year.
Remember - always expect the unexpected! That is just life.
AND - see no problems - just opportunities.
AND there are no failures - just extra chances to start again.
I think if we all remember these things, we can get through most anything. Life has a way of surprising us, when we least expect it. Just go with the flow and move forward - that is the best advice I can give.
Have a great day. See ya all tomorrow with my first project!
