My friends were having a discussion about new year resolutions . I make a bunch of them every year . Yes without fail I have my list ready by new year's eve . At time my quarterly evaluations keep me on track . But most of the times none of the resolutions last till the end of the year . As a matter of fact I loose track of more than half of my resolutions by mid year . But some temporary rewards that I gain during the process keep me going . These rewards are the real reason that motivate me to come up with new resolutions every year .
I want 2018 to be different though . I want to make very few resolutions, just a couple may be . As much as I am tempted to make a long list I have already scaled down to less than a handful resolutions this year . No surprise that all of them are targeted towards ME... my health and hobbies . And hopefully these resolutions last till the end .
I believe that giving myself permission to do stuff for ME will actually transform me into a better person. Perhaps even a better mom . I am blessed to be a mom . But I do not want to loose sight of the person I want to be and can be . So let us toast to a year of some ME time . The holiday season is over but I want to sparkle . So let us all moms celebrate the coming year with a dash of glitter in our everyday lives . Happy new year to all you mommies and your families that you take care of endlessly . Let the celebrations begin ...
