Now back to our regularly scheduled programming

What is it about the day after Christmas? Is it the wrapping paper overload? Too much sugar? Why am I already dying to put some of the Christmas clutter back into it's properly labelled box?

Well, I'm taking a moment to record my resolutions for this coming year (the big ones, the little ones) and take note of the stuff I put in place this year that worked well (Hi-five!) 


I'll be mulling this list over in the next few days, but here's my initial take on what I'd like 2014 to look like. I know I want it to be simpler. I want it to be more about living life and loving than I do about gathering items. I want it to be lived more fully.

Frankly, I've already made a few commitments that I'm questioning -- probably can't do much about it at this point, but I will let this year also serve as a learning experience. If I am committed to helping my kids clear their plate and de-schedule, then I've gotta set those boundaries for myself.

So I ask you now... Have you thought about your resolutions yet? Any good ones to share? Anything rattling around that you want to get out of your head?

Impressed with your lists! I need to do a similar exercise soon. Thanks for the reminder.

Are your lists for 2013 or 2014 though? I am probably dense but couldn't totally tell. : )

These resolutions are for 2014. Sorry for confusion! I've clarified in the post.

I really like it that you added a "things I'm doing well" category. So smart to remember not just to focus on the areas for improvement, but to give yourself a pat on the back for the VAST amount of work you're already doing, and quite well at that. Good job, friend!

And now if I am brave enough to share my resolutions, I will steal this idea and post it on my blog. I guess I have about a week left, huh?
