Take Stock and Dump the Trash.

I’ve never been one for making New Year’s Resolutions…

In fact, I think they’re for the birds…

the flamingos that have long necks and long feet and are pink as Pepto-Bismol…

Or maybe, Ostriches…

because they jUST. dON’T. fLY.

Come February,  they look you in the face, stick out their tongue and raspberry spit all over you… And who needs that?

Not me, I tell ya.

So this year, I’m looking at life from a different point of view…

This year, I’m taking stock…

.I’m looking at last year and seeing what worked.  Then I’ll keep doing that.

And then, I’m seeing what didn’t go so flamin’ hot…

and figuring, I’ll give that slice some attention and try to whip it into shape….and good.

And then, there’s the trash…

you know…that bottom 15% of junk that isn’t worth saving to begin with?

That mess is gone, daddy, gone…

So, you’re curious, aren’t you?  Well, this Bold Girl is made of mystery, so you’ll just have to watch and try to see if you can Matlock it out…

So, forget those dumb resolutions… start taking stock of the 2012 that’s history and put your life into these three categories.

And if it’s in the bottom, DUMP the TRASH.  Like now… so you can try something new.

That’s the fun part of life…if you’re BOLD.

And you are, right?

Don’t you know, I’m doing it right now.  Something new, that is…

Take a wild guess what it is…

I won’t raspberry you if you get it wrong.

Promise…

And so the BOLD ones say...

    Great advice. I don’t make resolutions either. To me it’s like setting yourself up for failure. I am curious what you have up your sleeve too!

    A wild guess what your’re doing, huh? Blogging in the nude? That’s different! Knowing you, (as “deeply” as I do from following you) it could be anything! But I’ll jest be a-sittin’ here waitin’ to hear what’s up!

    Best of everything to you an yours for 2013.

    Take a guess at what you are doing to take stock…. inspiring others? Making us smile? Creating a gorgeous blog? All of the above? Love your attitude. I only wish my life allowed me more time to do more than just shove ‘stuff’ in the proerbial closet and hope to get it cleaned out some time.

    Hi Gwen! Sorry to leave a comment here but I didn’t know how else to let you know…AOL is down and I can’t get to my email. UGH. I know there are 2 emails from you and as soon as it’s back up I’ll read them. I hate this!
