I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of
criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for
me. -Anaïs Nin
New Year’s Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not
encourage them to take up more of my time. -James Agate
We’ll be saying goodbye to 2011 in just a few days, and hello to 2012. I’ve been working on getting our family prepared for a new year of organization…
Our families ’central command station’ is the side, and front of our refrigerator.
We picked up a new calendar for the year, and Surprise! it’s all baby Schaunzers! This little guy looks pretty close to our, Oliver.
At Target I found an organizher by Meade, and decided to set it up for our Monthly Menu, a Monthly Daily Chore calendar [each day you do some type of small, quick chore, ie: clean out nightstand], and a To do section [the to-do section will actually be a monthly post it note reminder section, ie: make vet appt]. I don’t want to get too complicated, and I think this system is going to work out great for us.
Resolutions/Twenty Wishes…no matter what you call them: I create unrealistic resolutions for myself, and I fail miserably. In 2010 I chose three resolutions, and have decided to carry them forward for 2012;
-
Embrace my family and friends with more love, more patience, and more time together.
-
Live my life greener, healthier, simpler, happier, fuller.
- Enjoy each moment and blessing of today.
One Little Word…I’m still narrowing down my options. Here’s a reminder of a few of my previous words; 2010: Today, 2011: Integrity, and Awareness
My new class, Policy and Politics in Nursing and Health Care has opened, so I am preparing the next 8 weeks of my life around the syllabus.
We will be attending a special service for Reggies bestfriend, Kyle, and his brother, Tyler, in town tonight. Unfortunately, Reggie has to return to basic training on the 3rd, so he will not be able to attend the actual funeral that is planned. A horrible tragedy, and just gut wrenching, and heart breaking. I received a wonderful note from the boys stepmother this morning, and am so grateful for the wonderful words she wrote about Kyle, and Reggie. Fly high boys, and may your spirit always be present with those who love you…
Love those around you…until next time…
-Jenny
