Living the Sweet Life: – Hello Again January!

---

Well my darlings, it’s finally here: another New Year! I don’t think I could be happier than I am right now. Last year was filled with so many things – very few good and lots of very very bad – thus leaving me anticipating 2017 for quite some time. Why is it that January always puts us into that frame of mind?

There’s the changing of the actual year, which encourages change. With anything new, especially a whole year before us, we always seem to want to challenge ourselves, which then leads us to those pesky resolutions we try to bother with. I though have decided that January marks a new beginning. I will not be making lots of crazy goals that I will then have to lament come mid-year having not accomplished them. Nope, not this ole’ Auntie A. This year, I am going to breathe!

I am going to spend less time doing and lots of time thinking. I am going to enjoy each day as if it were my very last. I am not going to do one thing about my weight or pressure myself to exercise. And if that far-off notion were to strike, then I guess I reckon I might have to stretch!

I am going to write and take note of all around me. I am going to make the decision to be unavailable for 30 whole days in a row. God only knows what mischief I will get into! I am going to access every room in my house and remove everything that no longer suits me. As my “stuff” piles high, I will scoot it closer to the door, and then I will kick it out! I promise.

After all, I will be turning 47 next month, and my first book is coming out too. It’s time to be in my moments and enjoying each one of them. The children are growing, and soon they will be gone!

So January, I think I may have accidentally done what I hoped I wouldn’t do to you! Yes, I just made some crazy goals, and yes, I will be frazzled come June if they are not either finished or well on that way. It’s called living! Those who move forward have to in order to accomplish. I am truly sorry dear January. You are definitely in the hot seat!

Hope each of y’all have a wonderful January.

Take Care of YOU!
