I never make resolutions that sound like torture. I used to do that and then a few years ago I decided to resolve to have FUN, LIVE WITH JOY, and only make goals that sounded like something I’d actually enjoy doing. An example? Instead of resolving to go on a diet, I planned to make more delicious salads and eat more fruit. Rather than resolving to work out more, I planned to go for more evening walks (something I LOVE to do!). Rather than dreading life, this little mind set shift had me sitting with a pad of paper and pen writing things like:
- I want to try oysters this year! (They were so slimy! Haha! But I’m so glad I did it!)
- I want to kiss my loved ones more often. (My husband, Louis, and kids only seemed to want to give them back!)
- I want to go on a trip to a place I had never been before! (Anguilla was AMAZING!! Wow!! Total Life changer!)
- I want to celebrate more! (We threw a party for just about any and every reason! What a blast!)
- I want to go for more Sunday Drives! (We discovered Mercier Farms on one of those and had THE BEST TIME & built so many happy memories with the kids!)
- I want to go for more walks (I bought cute outfits that I couldn’t wait to wear and that helped make this one even more fun!)
- Add more flowers to the house, inside and out!
Well, those are just a few from last year and now I can’t wait to do it again! What can we resolve to do in 2025 that sounds like a blast?! I’ve got some like… dance in the rain and stomp in muddy puddles, try a new food, try a new restaurant, try a new recipe!, hug my friends and family even more!
I just want to come into a NEW YEAR filled with gratitude and excitement. A whole year awaits! Let’s make it amaaaaaazing!!! Happy New Year!! xxV
