It amazes me at times how quickly a year goes by! Just a couple of months ago I thought about some of my 2009 New Year’s resolutions and realized that I hadn’t even attempted them yet! Of course, I still haven’t…guess they’ll carry over into the new year.
Actually, I have mixed feelings about making resolutions. Statistically, less than 20% are able to keep their resolutions. I prefer to set goals/priorities throughout the year rather than just on New Year’s Eve. This season I’ve been thinking a lot about connecting with family and friends and realize that I need to do more of it in 2010. In regards to people, my priorities for the new year are:
• call my brother once a week
• call my aunt (who is like a mom) at least twice a week
• send birthday cards ON TIME to family and relatives
• communicate (phone or email) with my nieces at least once every two weeks
• monthly send cards to shut-ins
• invite friends over for a game night at least once a month
• do a search on this site for friends that I’ve lost contact with
• begin a family journal to someday give to my great niece and nephew
How about you? Have you thought about what you hope to accomplish in 2010? Is there someone whom you hope to connect with? If you haven’t done a search yet on this site, then I encourage you to give it a try. Life is too short for the “what if’s”–start your search today!
Listen to your heart…
