“The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don’t want, drink what you don’t like, and do what you’d rather not.” – Mark Twain

How are all your New Years resolutions going?

No, really. How are you doing? We are now long past that 30 day mark that most of the super smart people say is the amount of time it takes to form a new habit. Did you make any resolutions that were worth sticking too?

Here’s a post I wrote last year about resolutions if you want to take a gander:

Resolution

In my older age, I find myself waking up every morning and going to bed every night with intent. In the morning, it is the intent to make the day count, to not be wasted. At night, it is the intent to be better the next day. There is always something to improve upon. Heavy, right?

I feel like time is flying by, in a very out-of-control roller coaster way. It is a quickening of times that makes me feel a little desperate. There is so much I need to teach my kids. There is so much I want to do with my kids. There is so much I want to experience with my husband.

The extreme simplification in living that we underwent this last year has helped so much in allowing me time to focus on the important things and personal traits I want to continue to develop.

Happy New Year! Keep at it!
