1111- A Thousand Thoughts and more

So many things are running through my mind as I sit here a few hours into the new year. I wanted to make a resolution that was meaningful and achievable. There's the standard self improvement, diet, health, exercise. There's the relationship bid of quality and quantity of time together. The finances: reduce debt and save more. But what is it I really want? Where do I really need focus? Where will I realistically follow through? I want to be less bitter and more accepting. I need to let go of old hurts and stop speculating about new ones. I vow to move my body more even if that involves simply standing on the treadmill for a few minutes each day -- Getting up from my office chair to visit the other hallways a couple times a day and when it's nice walk down to the river just to see if it's still there. I want to challenge myself but not reach the point where a single activity takes over my life - as reading, quilting and farmville have done, as had TV. I want to enjoy these activities and not reach burnout where the remnants are found in a storage tub long forgotten. I'll strive to start on projects long before they are due but won't work myself into a tissy over impending deadlines. As I work to reduce these big stressors in my life, I hope to find I'm naturally more loving and care free.
