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…
.
wishing you all the best in 2013, whatever may be!
You, too, My friend!!! 2013 will be the year to simplify, get focused and make the most out of life! I’m really excited about what may come and hope the absolute best for those that I care about…and that includes you!
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!
It is, it is! I’m working hard and can’t wait to share!
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.
Haha! Nope. No nude blogging over here!!!
I’m working fiendishly and can’t wait to share my new projects! Thank you so much for helping to make this a wonderful year, Dona! I cherish your comments and your visits!
I love this! I think it’s a great plan of attack for the new year 🙂
Thank you, Ali! I already feel lighter and have more energy to follow some of the hopes that I’ve been dreaming of doing!
Happy New Year, my friend! May it be filled with Joy!
Gwen! I so missed your posts – always make me smile. I’m with ya on this whole idea. Now just gotta figure out what I did in 2012 to improve, keep or trash! =)
Oh, Jenny! Thank you so much!
Go for it and dump the trash! I think we focus so much on changing, we forget to just stop doing what is dragging us down… Happy New Year!
Lawd, it’s no tellin’ what you are up to!
We’ll love it, whatever it is.
Bring it, G- Dawg.
Just fun. Tired of letting stuff get me down and I just want to do some things that I’ve been wanting to do but have been getting sidetracked!
Happy New Year, Tina Lou! May it be ever filled with Joy!
You are always up to something curious!
Hehehe….
My word for the year is content! All the other drost is bring put in the mental recycle bin C: can’t wait to see what you’re up to.
That is a beautiful word for the year, Jane! I hope this year bring joy and contentment!
Good for you! I think that whatever you do with 2013 will be amazing!
blessings,
karianne
Thank you, my lovely friend! Happy New Year!
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.
Oh, dear Helen! You always make me smile! And shove that trash in the bin, girl! That’s where it belongs…
Whatever you’re doing I’m sure it’s spectacular…because I expect nothing less from you 🙂
Oh, boy! You’re too sweet… but I hope you are right!!!
I hope you are doing well, my friend!
It’s not possible for little ole me to figure out what’s in that pretty head of yours…but I’ll be watching!!
Hahaha! How are you, my friend! Well, I hope!
I agree … New Years resolutions are for the birds – even the ones that can’t fly 🙂 BTW I’ve been cleaning up my subscription list – glad to see you are still up and running strong 🙂 Happy New Year!
Hello, Shauna! Thank you so much for popping over to say “hi”! I hope you are well and are having a wonderful New Year!
Hmmmmm………
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!
