Today it’s raining and 6 celsius (!) in Toronto. WTH?? Normally, it’s a pile of snow and -20 celsius. I’m not complaining; it’s just weird.
I have to be honest; I’m so glad that 2011 is gone and dusted! It was not my favourite year. Too much bad stuff world-wise, and I had one too many disappointments to deal with. Anyhow, it’s over, and time to start fresh!
Do you make resolutions? I do, even though I’ve known some people who have stopped doing it – something about not achieving their goals. The first rule of thumb is to make your goals reasonable; why set yourself up for failure? It leaves you feeling bad, and then you wouldn’t want to try to complete the other goals on your list.
And writing goals down on paper is one thing; now you have to find the motivation to start and finish them!
As for me? Well I’m at a stage in my life where I have to seriously look after my health. I am healthy, but I can be healthier. I already have a gym membership, but I mean the foods I choose to eat, how much, that kind of thing. And exercise? Sure, but I’ll be doing things I enjoy doing, not because I have to or should.
And writing? You betcha! I really slowed down in Nov. and Dec., but I have a couple of manuscripts for editing, and that will be my writing goal for January. I’m going to take it easy and not weigh myself down with all kinds of ideas; I’ll write the ideas down and get to them when I can.
Other ideas? Well, a friend suggested that I get my own website, which is a good idea, but I’m not in a rush for it. My posts are infrequent as it is! lol
I have plenty of ideas on the go, but just to sort them out. I will post about what I’m working on.
Happy New Year to you all! Have a blessed, peaceful, joyful 12 months! 
Luv Char
