Welcome
to 2012...and to my new website design! I've been busy updating
Useful Remnants and Katie Scarlett designs to start fresh for my second
year of blogging. Like a new journal with clean blank pages, I can't wait to
fill this space with projects, thoughts, adventures, creative ideas,
and perhaps a few items for sale. Who knows where the year will take
me?
My
resolutions for 2012 are simple but manageable. Resolutions are
often so strict and demanding that they are doomed to fail. Mine are
not actual rules, but more what you'd call guidelines (like the
pirate's code). I find it much easier to accomplish an encouraging
statement than one that screams at me. For instance, Eat healthy
& move more is more
effective than LOSE x pounds AND EXERCISE x hours.
Could be that I'm just stubborn and don't like being told what to do,
even by myself.
- Enjoy every day
- Eat healthy & move more
- Focus on now but look ahead
- Accept what can't or won't change
- Practice awareness & patience
- Read, reflect, rejuvenate, relax
- Sew, design, create
- Explore new places, meet new people
- Live simply
- Do it now
Reading
these affirmations often should refocus my energy and resolve, so I have them
posted on my bulletin board. Here's to a fabulous, productive and
happy 2012!
