New Year's Resolutions

Personally, I'm not a fan of New Year's resolutions. It sets me up for failure. I tend to hold myself to unattainable standards. Even when I'm doing all that I can at a given time, I still think I should have done more or be doing more. So this year my "resolutions" are more suggestions than anything else. The strictures are loose and free. 

1. To blog more. Well, considering the paucity of the blog posts in the last year or two this will not be hard to achieve. But I do find it soothing to write and get stuff out. So there should be more activity on here than there has been.

2. To work out consistently. I refuse to put a number on this. I get very numbers-obsessed. I don't count calories for the same reason. It becomes a competition with myself to not exceed or to over-do depending on the activity. 

3. To do one thing each week that brings me joy. Sing along in the car, bake something I want to make for no reason, spend time with friends, eat a really great cupcake. I'm not sure what all will fall into this category but I'm going to find out.

4. To continue to heal and grieve and move forward from our infertility process. 

I also believe I would be remiss if I didn't include Henry and Evie's resolutions. If I am correct those would include the following:

1. Convincing E and I that they should be fed multiple times a day.

2. More cat toys, please. Amazon has plenty that they would like to try and then discard after 30 seconds.

3. Teach E and I to understand what they say. 

4. Sleep more. I personally don't think it's possible, but hey, at least they have goals.
