I Resolve

Thank goodness the new year has begun. I was feeling like a slug the last few months of 2008. The more I did nothing, the more that's all I wanted to do. A new year revives the soul with the promise of new opportunities. I plan to take full advantage of it. They say to be successful, you need a tangible, achievable goal with a firm due date. And since I work best to deadlines, here are my New Year's Resolutions.

1. Lose 10 lbs. by Valentine's Day (Feb 14)
2. Complete rough draft sketches for Chuck's poetry book by Jan 31, finals by Feb 28. Thanks Chuck for the motivation
3. Complete rewrite of Dillon and Blue for self publishing by March 31. Thanks Bill for the motivation.
4. Hardest of all, give up watching Rachael Ray so I have a good solid hour of quiet time every morning to accomplish the above tasks. I'm looking forward to the weekly recipes ezine I signed up for, the part of the show I miss the most.

I've written all of these down in my day planner - in ink! Keep me honest. Come back often to check on my progress. Good luck with your resolutions.
