New day, new dreams

Here it is, February already and I have yet to cross off my first week of January scheduled tasks!

I did make a few resolutions this year, pretty much the same as I do every year...lose weight, live more frugally, get clutter under control and blah, blah, blah.

This year, I have added a few and need to remind my self that new habits take constant attention but here they are:

1. Do something special for someone, human or animal to make their life a little happier each day.

2. Do something "green' each day...that means taking one or more of my canvas shopping bags when I shop, turning off an unused light, wearing a sweatsuit and using a throw instead of turning up the heat, carry the scraps to the compost bin instead of throwing them away, reuse paper and plastic bags [they are already here!].

3. Stop complaining about the things I can't control and work more on the things I can do to make a difference.

4. Take better care of myself so I will be less of a burden on others as I age.

5.Hug, and/or kiss someone EVERY single day. That one is a must!

Sounds easy but I need to remind myself that life really is not the past [where I tend to live] or the future which might never be out there, but NOW...carpe' diem...seize the day...that says it all.
