I Resolve To™ . . . Approach My Day With A Positive Attitude & A Cool Head! - Day 90

Every new day presents a new set of challenges. It is so easy to get worked up and angry over problems and obstacles, which in turn can can ruin a perfectly wonderful day. Sometimes the villain can be as insignificant and a rude driver, or as serious as a work project gone awry. Rather than going ballistic, there is an alternative, common sense approach: Take a deep breath, count to 10, avoid reacting to problems with anger, or anxiety, and calmly approach the situation with a cooler head and attitude by analyzing what is happening and thinking through a solution. I admit, some days it is easier said than done, but it is an important goal to embrace because it can reduce stress, improve health, and help to build better interpersonal relationships. Exercise and meditation help me to reduce stress, and stay grounded, but I am earnestly taking this effort one step further and am working to maintain a more zen-like approach to my days (an attempt to extend my meditation and Yoga practice into the rest of my day). I also am continuing my 2008 resolution to be more consciously kind to myself and others by being aware of my attitude, actions, words, and deeds.

I intend to 'Be Cool, Calm & Collected', as part of my I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness. Why not join me? The objective is very simple: Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'. Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'. Instead, make every day New Year's Day. Make every day count. The list of possibilities is infinite and can be tailored to your own dreams, resolutions and daily goals. If you need some help - a little nudge, a bit of inspiration, tips, advice, and news about the best ways to make resolutions a reality - please use IResolveTo.Com as one of your resources.

In my daily effort to learn new things, I did some research into ways to reduce stress, stay cool, calm and collected. As I mentioned some of my primary tools for reducing stress, finding balance and staying calm include exercise, meditation and Yoga. I also walk for exercise, relaxation and happiness - I love to walk, listen to all the sounds, take in the sights, and seek new adventures. Most importantly I maintain a daily journal that includes a realistic list of daily 'To Do's (along with a running list of long-range 'To Do's' - my plan for achieving my dreams resolutions and goals). My journal and my habit of taking one small step at a time, one day at a time, keeps me on track, realistic about my resolutions, and inspired about my progress. If you would like to learn more, here are some websites that offer additional tools and insights about ways to reduce stress, stay cool, calm, and collected . . .

I am determined to simplify my life. Part of that mission includes slowing down, being conscious of my words, actions, and thoughts - and multi-tasking less!

I Resolve To™ . . . Open My Ears! - Day 88

When you are outside, do you really hear the birds singing, or are you busy thinking about something else? When you are talking with your colleagues, are you really listening to what they are saying, or are you busy formulating your response? I like to remind myself to 'really listen' on a regular basis because it is so easy let your mind wander when you're with another person, and equally easy to sleepwalk through the day, failing to be conscious of all the wonderful sights and sounds in the world. With that in mind, I intend to 'Listen', really listen, as part of my I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness. Why not join me?

I Resolve To™ . . . Anticipate, Accept, Embrace & Learn From Change! - Day 87

Nothing lasts forever. Change is a constant companion in the day-to-day journey. It is an aspect of life that one can fully depend upon and come to expect. Everything changes. Some changes are small like a change in the weather. Other changes are huge, significant, life-altering events like a divorce. People grow, learn and change. Relationships change and sometimes people grow apart and go their separate ways. On the other hand, sometimes bonds grow stronger and commitment deepens, as partners in a relationship evolve and transform.

Sometimes change happens overnight, sometimes over years. The seasons can change almost in the blink of an eye, at times. The inhabitant of the White House, meanwhile, changes more gradually every four, or eight, years - first the long election, then the transition. Bosses come and go, as do jobs. Traffic patterns change. Styles change. Stores and restaurants open and close. Neighborhoods change over time. I could go on and on and on. If you fight change, rebel against it, grow anxious, and depressed, it makes for one unhappy life. I would rather be happy. I am learning to anticipate and acknowledge change, embrace it, grow with it, flow with it . . . and move forward with flexibility and open-mindedness, rather than looking over my shoulder all the time. It is a much easier and more fulfilling way to live.

I intend to 'Accept Change Is Inevitable', as part of my I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness. Why not join me? The objective is very simple: Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'. Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'.

I Resolve To™ . . . Urge Folks To Visit Washington, D.C. At Least Once! - Day 86

This is a resolution that everyone should make. I will never forget the first time I drove around the city of Washington, D.C. at night - the White House, U.S. Capitol Building, Government Buildings, and all of the Memorials on the Mall are breathtaking at night. I urge folks to make an effort to visit Washington at least once to soak up the history, the arts, the government, the restaurants . . . there is so much to do and see! For me, this is another easy resolution. I have had my first visit, lived and worked in the city for more than a decade, and I still work and play in D.C. It is easy to take the city, the power, the grandeur, for granted over time . . . so I plan to view Washington through a new 'lens'.

I intend to 'Visit Washington, D.C. At Least Once (each week), viewing it through the eyes of a tourist, as part of my I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness.

I Resolve To™ . . . Get My Daily News Fix! - Day 85

I am a news junkie. I admit it. My dream as a kid was to be a reporter. I got my college degrees in journalism, trained and worked as a journalist, and my love of 'news' and writing has never left me. A resolution to consume news, online, on television, radio, and in newspapers and magazines is an easy one to make and keep. That's okay, some resolutions should be easy (and fun).

I Resolve To™ . . . Drink My Coffee In Moderation, But Enjoy Every Sip! - Day 84

I love coffee almost as much as I love chocolate. I indulge in both - coffee every day, a small amount of chocolate often, but not every day. I try not to get carried away with either treat because common sense prescribes that most things taken to extremes are not healthy. Moderation is a trait that I work pretty hard to apply across-the-board in my life, including coffee consumption. I limit myself to one or two small cups of java each day, and most days it's just one cup. I intend to 'Savor My Coffee', as part of my I Resolve To . . .

I Resolve To™ . . . Be Open To Good Things In My Resolution-Keeping Journey! - Day 83

I spend a portion of my day reading news articles, studies, 'how-to's', and blog posts about New Year Resolutions. It is a blend of insights ranging from common sense information on how to make and keep resolutions,to the daily chronicling of the journey by folks who are working hard to stick with their goals. I've been studying what works and what doesn't work since I began tracking my own exercise resolution January 1, 2005 in my first blog, ACreativeLife.Com. I kept a daily exercise diary that was a case-study of sorts, that helped me to understand my own methods of goal-setting. I built my I Resolve To . . . System of resolution-keeping around my habits and what I've learned by studying resolution-making-and-keeping. I've discovered that one common sense key to success is maintaining a positive attitude throughout the ups and downs, and reminding yourself that troubles will pass and things will get better. Often you have to start over and over again before you succeed, which requires a healthy dose of optimism an commitment.

In in effort to maintain my own even-keel optimism, I intend to 'Remember Good Things Might Be Right Around The Bend, as part of my I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness. Why not join me? The objective is very simple: Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'. Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'. Instead, make every day New Year's Day. Make every day count.

In addition to learning new things about New Year Resolutions, my daily effort to educate myself has introduced me to a wide array of wonderful people who are pursuing their passions and 'doing what they love', which is another key to success if you want to achieve New Year Resolutions. I recently was introduced, online, to Diane Wright, a New Yorker, whose passion is quilting. She authors the blog: Diane Wright Art Quilts. Personally, I am very inspired by both creativity and accomplishment displayed by others, especially when they are pursuing their dreams and passions. I left Diane a pleasant comment on her blog and she responded with an equally pleasant E-mail. I wanted to share her observations because they are so positive:

"I'm glad you stumbled onto my blog...it lead me to yours. Today, a really wonderful spring day in NYC, two very nice things happened to me. At a quilt show without a camera I asked a woman with a camera in front of a work I admired, "would you consider doing something nice for a complete stranger?" 'Yes', she replied, 'what?'. I asked her if she would take a pic of the work and email it to me. She did. I gave her my card. Then she laughed and said it would be the first one she'd ever sent...a learning experience for her. Then on the Metro North return trip home, out of the 125th St. station the conductor came thru and encountered a fellow in front of us, with a credit card and no ticket. Conductor: "No, we only accept cash on the train"...."Well, you will have to exit at Stamford, purchase a ticket and catch the next train". "Well, it will be about an hour before the next ones comes". "You are not from here are you?"...."Well, in the United States, you purchase the ticket and then get on the train...that's the way it is". "Where are you from?" "Okay, just this once. I will show you American hospitality. Welcome." Thumbs up from all the nearby passengers. To the other passengers: "The next time you are in Slovakia I hope you are welcomed". I love spring. Thanks for your comment on my blog."

When you are open to good things, willing to look for the positive amid a lot of negative that swirls around in day-to-day life, it is amazing what you learn, the people that you meet, the wonderful things that you experience, and the fabulous things that you achieve. With that in mind, I intend to keep looking for the 'good things' that just might be around the bend.

I Resolve To™ . . . Get Busy & Get The Job Done! - Day 82

Some days I am good, some days I am not so good about maintaining my focus and efficiently completing my 'To Do List'. I rarely am late with deadlines, but I do procrastinate, at times, which causes an unnecessary rush to completion on projects large and small. It is far too easy to burn time reading E-mails, surfing the Internet, and looking for things to do other than the pressing task at hand - a task that I don't really 'want to do', but is mandatory, thus unavoidable at some point. There is no excuse for procrastination, other than it is easy to do, and it postpones the inevitable. Procrastination causes anxiety because projects pile up and deadlines loom. Procrastination is a New Year Resolution assassin. Procrastination can get you in trouble with the boss, spouse, family, friends . . . Need I say more? Procrastination is not a good habit to adopt, but it is a popular, though naughty, companion.

With that in mind, I intend to work hard to 'Stop Procrastinating, as part of my I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness. Why not join me? The objective is very simple: Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'. Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'.

Stamping out procrastination is high on my priority list. I think about it and write about it frequently. Here is a short list of columns that I have written for I Resolve To.Com and shared with EzineArticles.Com, Helium.Com, and social networking groups like Gather.Com, in recent years. All five columns provide simple, common sense tactics that can be used to 'get stuff done':

I Resolve To™ . . . Open My Senses To My Surroundings! - Day 81

A couple years ago, this little fella joined me while I was relaxing in my back yard. One of the things that I love about my property is the wildlife - the wide array of birds, chipmunks, deer, spiders (I have learned to live with them, there are so many, and they do eat bug pests), an occasional fox, raccoons, and a herd of squirrels. We happily co-exist together and I am always entertained by their habits. Observing the movements of Praying Mantis's like the one pictured above and their overall life cycles is one of my summertime joys. This wee-one seemed to be as interested in watching me, as I was watching him (or her). Eventually it wandered off, but our time spent together prompted me to do a little online homework about what makes them tick - I learned that they are very predatory and mate in the Autumn (I did actually see places on plants near the house where the females placed their eggs).

I intend to 'Be In Awe Of All Creatures', and appreciate the roles they play in nature, as part of my I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness. Why not join me? The objective is very simple: Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'. Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'.

If you would like to learn more about the Praying Mantis, its life cycle and daily habits, here are some of the websites and articles that I found to be of interest . . . They are the fruits of my resolutions to be in awe, be curious, learn new things each day, and open my senses to my surroundings:

I Resolve To™ . . . Visit Markets For Fresh Produce, Flowers & Other Goodies! - Day 80

One of my favorite markets in the Region is the Eastern Market in Washington, D.C., pictured above. I love shopping there for fresh produce, especially during the Spring, Summer and Fall months when I hit a lot of the area's Farmers Markets. In addition to helping me stay on track with my resolutions to eat more fruit and vegetables, visiting the fresh produce markets helps both the vendors and the region's farmers - a win-win-win opportunity!

I Resolve To™ . . . Revel In The First Official Day Of Spring! - Day 79

Spring officially arrived this morning with the 'Vernal Equniox', a twice-a-year occurance, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away from, nor toward the Sun. National Geographic has a wonderful online article about the Vernal Equinox that is well worth a read if you would like to learn a few quick facts about the technical side of the Equinox. For instance, according to the article, Spring officially arrived at 7:44 A.M (ET) today in the Northern Hemisphere.

Facts aside, the sun is shining, blooms are bursting, and the sky is blue. What more can one ask after a long, cold winter? Why not take a moment to appreciate some of the small, simple wonders of daily life? Grab your lunch and spend some time outside. Take a long walk or dust off your running shoes. Head out into the garden to prep garden beds and get your hands dirty. The possibilities are endless . . . why not consider looking for some inspiration in your surroundings while you are at it? Look 'up' at the blue sky while you're walking, instead of 'down' at the sidewalk. Listen to the birds sing. Smile at a stranger. Do a little daydreaming and while you are at it, re-kindle your motivation and desire for your New Year Resolutions, dreams and daily goals. I love Spring because, for me, it is like New Year's Day, Round Two - a major, seasonal opportunity to start anew, another new blank page on which I can write my life story. I am planning to make the most of my Spring days and I hope you will too!

I intend to 'Embrace Spring', as part of my I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness. Why not join me? The objective is very simple: Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'. Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'. Instead, make every day New Year's Day. Make every day count. The list of possibilities is infinite and can be tailored to your own dreams, resolutions and daily goals. If you need some help - a little nudge, a bit of inspiration, tips, advice, and news about the best ways to make resolutions a reality - please use IResolveTo.Com as one of your resources.

With this in mind, my act of kindness today is to send you these warm words of inspiration from one of my favorite websites, The Quote Garden. They are among the favorite quotes that I like to share year-to-year because they truly bring a smile to my face. I hope they add a little joy to your day, as well, and perhaps encourage you to breathe some life into a cherished dream. What do you have lose? You just might have everything in the world to gain!

"It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!"    Mark Twain

"If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall."    Nadine Stair

"The most important trip you may take in life is meeting people halfway."   Henry Boye

I Resolve To™ . . . Forgive Mistakes, Learn Lessons & Move Forward! - Day 78

Everyone makes mistakes. I make them. You make them. We all make them. Instead of beating ourselves up, stewing incessantly, and brooding over them . . . why not take a deep non-emotional breath, and ponder the mistake. If you claim it, embrace it, own up to it, learn from it, and move forward, then it is much, much more than a mistake. It is an opportunity to build integrity, honesty, self esteem, and confidence. Why not be kind to yourself, your colleagues, your loved ones: When a mistake is made, work to correct it, then forgive it and get on with your life.

I intend to 'Forgive Mistakes', as part of my I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness. Why not join me? The objective is very simple: Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'. Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'. Instead, make every day New Year's Day. Make every day count. The list of possibilities is infinite and can be tailored to your own dreams, resolutions and daily goals.

Resolve365 in 2009.

In 2008 and 2009, one of my resolutions has been to 'Show Gratitude' and to 'Give Back'. I engage in PreMeditated Acts Of Kindness in an effort to give more conscious thought to my actions and the way that I treat others. I am folks to join me and do the same - to work at being kinder because it's the right thing to do, without worrying about receiving anything in return, be it kind gesture or word, though my experience is that kindness shown is usually returned in kind.

Owning up to mistakes and making them right is one way that I strive to be kind to others and to myself. Sometimes the simplest way to correct a mistake is to know you've made one - and then apologize. Sincerely apologize and make a correction, a change, with a promise to try to avoid making the same mistake again. But be careful not to raise the bar too high. Mistakes do happen, that is life, we are all human. If you are doing your best and you make a mistake, or repeat a mistake, don't beat yourself up. Tomorrow is a new day, a new opportunity to give it your all once again.

Remember: I Resolve To . . . Achieve My New Year Resolutions, One Resolution, One Day At A Time For One Year. It's your choice. Do it today.

I Resolve To™ . . . Add Blueberries To My Diet! - Day 77

Exercise, improved eating habits (including more fresh fruits and vegetables), good hydration, my daily vitamin supplements, eight hours of sleep, and more time to relax, are top priorities for me in 2009.

I Resolve To™ . . . Get Part Of My Daily Calcium Via Milk! - Day 75

Milk has been part of my diet since childhood. To this day I still consume some milk every day, in my cereal, by the glass and in other foods that I eat.

I Resolve To™ . . . Continue My Banana Habit! - Day 74

Bananas are tasty bundles packed with vitamins and minerals. They are a mainstay on my grocery shopping list each week, so I did my daily search for new information - new lessons learned since I am what I eat - and ran across Florida Chiropractic Physician, Dr. J.D. Decuypere, who has a helpful chart about vitamin and mineral levels in fruit on her website. It is worth a look if you are interested in learning more about what you are putting into your body each day and whether or not you are engaging in a nutritional diet.

I Resolve To™ . . . Save A Fresh Copy Of My Important Computer Files Every Week! - Day 73

If you own a computer, periodic problems and small disasters are a fact of life. Thank goodness, most days, I do not have computer problems, but they do rear their ugly heads. The computer gremlins just seem to appear from nowhere - which would make sense with heavy, though careful use. Electronics, like most goods, eventually wear out. I have had a half-dozen laptops over the past dozen years. Long ago, I learned that having a second, fully-loaded, and current laptop and backing up data (daily, or weekly at a minimum), is vitally important to the health of one's business, personal and creative projects and information.

For some reason, every three years my primary laptop 'dies' and I am forced to re-install the operating system to its original factory settings. Right on schedule - as if my laptop recognized the 2009 calendar cue - it simply froze and stopped working a couple weeks ago. I have since re-installed the operating system and programs, but it is still acting up. I plan to take it to a computer doctor for an overhaul, which hopefully will return some semblance of normalcy to my life. I have had some practice with this over the years, so it wasn't a complete catastrophe, but has become very time consuming even when you are a data fanatic, as I am. Backing up data is so important! Save yourself a lot of trouble by copying important computer files regularly.

I intend to 'Back Up My Computer', habitually, as part of my I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness. Why not join me? The objective is very simple: Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'. Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'. Instead, make every day New Year's Day. Make every day count. The list of possibilities is infinite and can be tailored to your own dreams, resolutions and daily goals.

Unfortunately, my current computer 'Hell' will likely continue for awhile, as I try to work through issues with Microsoft's new Vista operating system on my new laptop (the stand-in for my ailing friend). A lot of vendors have not created workable drivers and patches for Vista, so my battle to restore calm and organization to my two laptops will likely continue for weeks to come. Even my backup drive is acting funny with this latest rash of problems, so I've come devised Plan B & C to back up data on other drives. I have also made a firm decision to be patient and stay calm throughout this ordeal, as it will pass and it is not the end of the world. To make myself feel better - a little more in control of the situation - I did some research and found websites and articles that are useful for maintaining a healthy computer and combating computer gremlins. I discovered that I am doing many things correctly and learned some new tips. I hope you find the information useful, as well . . .

I Resolve To™ . . . Get Creative With Smoothies! - Day 71

Whipping up a batch or two of smoothies is an easy way to add fruit, vegetables and juices to the daily diet. I am always looking for creative ways to add vitamins and nutrients to my meals, even though I take vitamin supplements (as a back up on the days that I fall short). With that in mind, I'm going to 'Blend A Smoothie', more regularly, as part of my I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness. Why not join me?

I'm not a gourmet chef. Cooking is actually something that 'I do to live, rather than live to do' - so I rely on friends, family, cookbooks, and the Internet to discover interesting tips and recipes. I tend to lean toward basic smoothies like strawberry and blueberry, but I would love to get more creative - add a little zest to my concoctions. A little Internet surfing, in my daily effort to learn new things, turned up a variety of interesting 'smoothie recipes'. They are well worth a look if you would like to add smoothies to your weekly menu options:

I Resolve To™ . . . Make Breakfast A Daily Routine! - Day 70

Without fuel a car won't travel far and the same is true for you and me. No breakfast, no 'gas' to get us through the day. Let's face it, breakfast is an important meal. I intend to to 'Eat Breakfast', as part of my I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness. Why not join me?

I have never been one to eat big meals. I am more inclined to eat smaller meals with snacks in between. Thanks to medication that I need to take on an empty stomach in the morning, I don't always eat breakfast right off the bat, but I do eat breakfast. There are so many different reasons to eat a healthy breakfast that it is hard to ignore this important habit. It helps to promote energy, fulfill the day's quota of vitamins and nutrients, control weight, and promote clear thinking. In my daily effort to learn new things, I did my research and discovered a variety of interesting websites that describe the benefits of breakfast, as well at tips to make breakfast both healthy and interesting:

I Resolve To™ . . . Make My Life Less Complicated! - Day 66

"Keep it simple" is a phrase used in so many different ways. It is good advice that applies to many day-to-day activities. When making my New Year resolutions, for instance, I find that 'keeping it simple' helps me to be very clear and concise about my intentions, planning and implementation. My I Resolve To . . . Challenge is another good example of my determination to 'keep it simple' in 2009. I try to do at least one thing each and every day for health and happiness. Often I discover that I have taken 10,20, 30, or more small steps toward health and happiness after that initial 'one step'. A nice, clean, simple desk helps to keep me focused and on-task during the workday. That's why I make a point to clear my desk before I 'call it a day'. A clear desk in the morning helps me to work efficiently and maintain organization in my tasks.

I intend to apply that same concept to my overall day-to-day activities. This year I am making a concerted effort to 'Simplify My Life', identify what is truly important, and focus less on what is 'not important' - as part of my I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness. Why not join me? The objective is very simple: Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'. Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'. Instead, make every day New Year's Day. Make every day count. The list of possibilities is infinite and can be tailored to your own dreams, resolutions and daily goals. If you need some help - a little nudge, a bit of inspiration, tips, advice, and news about the best ways to make resolutions a reality - please use IResolveTo.Com as one of your resources. Resolve365 in 2009.

Here is my preliminary Top 10 List Of Ways To Simplify My Life, in random order (most intentions have been underway since last Fall):

Get rid of the stuff I don't need or use. This is a room-by-room project that I am implementing throughout the year in an effort to better organize my house, make it more serene, and user-friendly.
De-clutter and organize my house during Spring and Summer cleaning. I need to tackle my utility room and shed. Better organization will make it easier to find things.
Stop buying unnecessary stuff. I already have enough!
Re-organize my office. My desk is clean, but it's time to focus on shelves and closets. Ten years ago, I truly simplified by incorporating my 'office' and work into my home and I continue to work from home much of the time.
Reduce my magazine subscriptions, and have newspapers delivered strictly on Saturday and Sunday, to free up more of my time (too many newspapers and magazines are going un-read).
Make time for 'me' to walk, exercise, read, relax, take small adventures, shoot photos, write, and do all the things I 'love to do'. It's time to spend more time on 'me', period. "Taking good care of yourself is not selfish." Repeat that mantra as many times as it is necessary to live it day-to-day.
Review how I am 'spending my valuable time' at work, at home, at play and set priorities. There are only 24-hours in the day and my time is valuable. Once it is spent, I can never 'go back for seconds'. Spend time wisely!
Make time to meditate, do Yoga, slow down, and live more consciously and deliberately - in the moment - every single day, not just 'occasionally'.
Pay attention to 'all things great and small' in my day: Stop to smell the roses, listen to the birds, listen to the music, give more hugs, show more smiles, and really participate. No sleep-walking allowed.
Organize and de-clutter my computer and all my electronics. A recent computer crash is giving this task a greater sense of urgency!

Remember: I Resolve To . . . Achieve My New Year Resolutions, One Resolution, One Day At A Time For One Year. It's your choice. Do it today. Turn your resolution into reality in five simple, common sense steps: Dare To Dream, Decide, Define, Develop A Plan, and Do It Daily. Make your resolution a permanent Lifetime Resolution, something that's with you for good! Above all, Be A Resolutionista, someone who makes resolutions, keeps resolutions, and enjoys the journey! Let's Go For It!

I Resolve To™ . . . Open My Eyes, Ears & Senses To The World Around Me! - Day 64

How often do you sleepwalk through the day? Same old, same old. Why not try something different? Open your ears, eyes, senses to all that is around you. Take a different route to work. Order something new for lunch. Surprise an old friend with a phone call out of the blue. Color with the red crayon instead of the same blue one you always use. Change your wardrobe. Daydream about a vacation. Take a long walk. Learn something new. In other words, approach the day with a sense of adventure and be conscious of your words, actions and deeds. Put routine away. Live more consciously . . .

I Resolve To™ . . . Be Grateful For All That I Have & All That I Am Every Single Day - Day 63

Even on the worst of days, there are things for which we can feel grateful. I try to dwell on he positive rather than stew on the negative. It's not always easy, but it does help to promote a healthier happier lifestyle. With that in mind, 2009, I am continuing my resolution to show 'gratitude' for all that I have and all that I am. I intend to 'Count My Blessings', every single day, as part of my I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness. Why not join me?

I Resolve To™ . . . Enjoy The Snow! - Day 62

I may be overly optimistic, but I believe we are experiencing the final throes of winter in Virginia. A Sunday night snow storm dumped a half-dozen inches, give or take, in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Region. This photo above shows part of the wooded area on my property. The view is one of the reasons that I moved from the city to the country: My little patch of land offers some peace and serenity in a wild, wild world. I know I sound like a broken record in saying, "I am not a winter person," but I am trying to appreciate winter (perhaps not as much as I appreciate the other three seasons, but I'm making an effort and that's what counts). To that end, I spent some time outdoors, kicking through the snow yesterday, 'doing what I love' - shooting photos.

In an effort to be more positive during the cold months, I intend to 'Embrace Winter', as part of my I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness. Why not join me? The objective is very simple: Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'. Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'.

Spring, truly, is right around the corner and I am so excited. I am looking forward to its arrival on March 17 with great anticipation. I plan to make good use of those 17 days, working steadily on client work, and home and creative projects, so that I can head outdoors and get dirty in the garden later this month and in April. I have my home/garden 'To Do List', in hand, and I am already checking off some of the items. When Spring arrives, I intend to make time for long walks so that I can savor first sightings of new buds on the trees and flowers waking from their long winter slumber in garden beds!

I Resolve To™ . . . Crack A Joke & Have A Laugh! - Day 61

This little beauty, 'Maude', in the photo, is one of my cherished possessions. My Mother gave me the replica of Maude, which was created and made popular by San Francisco photographer John Lund in his book Life According To Maude: A Photo Essay. My Mom gave it to me last summer when I was recovering from a major surgery. While I was confined to the couch and working on my laptop, Maude stared back at me from behind her glamorous sunglasses. She sat on her perch on the coffee table, while I stayed busy with work and creative projects to avoid going stir crazy (I am a very active person and not one to let grass grow under my feet). Maude brought a smile to my face during some hard times and she holds a special place in my heart, reminding me to lighten up and have more laughs. She also resembles my best buddy, BJ, a 19-year-old, orange tabby cat who has been with me since she was six-weeks old and also holds a special place in my heart.

With that in mind, I recognize that a serious attitude day-in-and-day out is no fun, even if you're going through some rough times, so I intend to 'Have A Sense Of Humor', on good days and not so good days, as part of my I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness. Why not join me? The objective is very simple: Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'. Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'. Instead, make every day New Year's Day. Make every day count.

Resolve365 in 2009.

I recognize that there are many different ways to lighten up. One way is to simply not take myself so seriously. I work at that since I can be somewhat serious and reserved, at times. Another way to lighten up, when worrying and stressing over something, is simply to ask 'what is the worst thing that could happen'? Sometimes the fear of the unknown is worse than the 'worst thing' and when I identify those fears and bring them out into the open, it really boosts my confidence,mood and attitude. The worst thing probably won't happen, and I remind myself of that, so I don't create a whole 'new' set of worries about things that 'probably won't happen'.

Another way that I try lighten up is to see the humor in situations and things that happen in day-to-day life. Some folks can brighten a day with a joke. I am not one of those people, unfortunately. When I make a joke that is actually funny (it does happen occasionally) there is a pregnant pause, my friends look at me, and then laugh, sometimes out of sheer shock that I made a joke and got the punchline right. I can remember kidding with a friend about my small indoor/outdoor menagerie of animals. I told him some folks have kids. I, however, decided to have a 'petting zoo'. He blinked at me for a few seconds, said "that's really funny", then we had a good chuckle. Along that vein, here are some Knock-Knock Joke websites that I discovered in my daily effort to learn new things. Enjoy!
