Yesterday, I won an Amazon gift certificate from Lissa. What a great way to kick off the New Year. She was running a 12 Days of Christmas giveaway.
L is so funny, she's using her new hair straightener to curl her hair, apparently it's the new thing!
Ten Resolutions to Thrive (not just Survive):
1. Face the future with courage and creativity, and don't let fear be your guide.
2. Laugh a lot, and see the humour in our own stumbles as a healthy balance to more difficult times when there's little humour to be found.
3. Greet the people you meet day-to-day with a ready smile, unforced politeness, and respectful patience.
4. Indulge every child you know with excess encouragement.
5. Since there's no escaping it, better to embrace the need to learn about treating the body we've been given with knowledgeable care, good nourishment and healthful movement. There's only one body per person.
6. View spontaneity as a present of time and inspiration, and not an intrusion.
7. Admire lovely things without an accompanying need for possession.
8. Learn and care about the environment as much as about the economy.
9. Focus your mind on the things that matter. If some of these present problems to you, resolve not to be held back by a tendency for denial, or by excuses.
Instead, look for solutions that work and be open to compromise.
10. Cherish the people you love every day, in every reasonable way. And don't feel awkward, or wait too long, in letting them know you love them.
