The new year is here. And we go through the usual motions of resolutions and promises to lead a better life. No different this time around. I made a few motherhood statements, decided on a theme for the years to come. For the first time in many years, I was becoming seriously aware of the fact that I had more productive years behind me, than ahead of me. Thats in terms of count! And the only way I could make my future count more than my past is to ensure that I live the same life more!
A few incidents have been encouraging in the past week. The run up to any new year is always good. You decide to start a new life and plan to do all the right things once the new year begins. And all that you experience in the last week before the new year appears encouraging. I had enough experience from the past of resolutions not making it any beyond January. So this time around I decided to just move quick and sure in the direction of a better life.
I looked back at 2009 and found that I had very few real achievements that made the list. So I refrained from writing a long laundry list of ideal things that seem so daunting that they sure will tire one.
I just decided on a theme 'Reclaim My Life' inspired by an automobile ad. Someone then told me you had to have measurable goals, but I didn't want to fall into the trap of aiming too wide and high and not reaching anywhere. So I'd decide on a few goals every month, review them at the end of the month, and add to the list as I go by, with some success, I hope and wish.
