How did 2011 go by so fast? Are you glad
it's over and a new year is beginning?
We had a quiet night here at home for New Year's Eve.
We watched a movie that I'd heard a lot about
and it was very good. We listened to the wind
howling fiercely outside and was glad we were
inside all cozy and warm.
I don't make resolutions because I rarely ever
keep them. I do make a list of goals I'd
like to attain. Last year, some goals were met
and others were not even close to being reached.
Thinking of the goals still needing to be met,
I'll just dust off my old list this new year
and hope to attain them by the end of the year.
What about you...do you have a list of resolutions
or have goals you hope to reach this year?
My number one goal is to adopt a healthier lifestyle
and that for me means using the treadmill regularly,
eating less sugar and fatty foods, and drinking
more water. You'd think that would be easy, right?
Well, for a Pepsi-holic and a lover of all things
chocolate, it's really not as easy as it sounds!
I'm determined to try the best I can to be in better
shape by the year's end. I can do it!! I hope.
I wish each of you the very best year ahead.
My thanks to each of you for your
comments and friendship during the past year.
I look forward to visiting and blogging
with you this New Year!
Until next time...
I'm not making that many resolutions because I'm trying to succeed with making better choices. Course we do have lots of leftovers. Hmmmm... Yes, I am glad to see 2011 go and look forward to a brighter 2012!
ReplyDeletesounds like you guys had a lot of fun...I love the part of hearing the winter winds...
ReplyDeleteNo resolutions made here...Not too good at keeping them....
I am excited about the new year and about all the opportunities that I have to connect with my blogging friends..
Have a great week..Happy New Year!
Hi Cheryl and Happy New Year. I don't make resolutions either ---but I am trying hard (since My October scare) to get healthier this year...

Well, as a Diet Coke-a-holic, I can understand the difficulty. I didn't make any resolutions either!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Cheryl!
Like you, I could just dust off last years but somehow this year,I am going to try to make one day resolutions and if I am successful, I will renew it the next day.
ReplyDeleteSo today, I will try to live in a healthier manner.
No resolutions for me either, I just look forward to another year of new beginnings.
ReplyDeleteI love your wintery header photos.
Warm wishes for a Healthy and Happy New Year, Cheryl.

We are working on healthier lifestyle too, Cheryl. You'd think it would be easy... guess if it were, we wouldn't have to 'work' at it! LOL! I did see a quote that has stuck with me recently:
ReplyDeleteBeing overweight and unhealthy is hard. Chosing to eat right and exercise is hard. Choose your hard.
That gives it a new slant. Anyway, wishing to much success in your 2012 goals! blessings ~ tanna
I too am happy to see 2012. I did not make any real resolutions. I would just like to make more time for my family. It is hard when they live in differnt directions, but I am going to make sure I visit each one more often.
ReplyDeleteI see my Daughter often, but my sisters.. not so much.
Happy New Year Cheryl! No resolutions here and I did a happy dance when I heard those blustery Pooh-like gusts blowing 2011 right out and bringing 2012 in. I am ready for a breath of fresh air!
ReplyDeleteat my age, not glad to see another year gone, they are speeding way to fast, and I am getting older at the speed of light. my goal is to make it through to next year. alive. and to blog all day every day.. LOL
ReplyDeletei hope you can attain your goals - for your own sake - no one else's. :)
ReplyDeleteglad we've gotten to 'meet' here in Blogland!
Hi Cheryl,
ReplyDeleteWe spent a quiet evening at home listening to the winds howl too.
I've noticed more and more people are making lists rather than goals. I didn't do either last year. I'm thinking a list is a good idea. I already have a long one running in my mind!
Happy 2012!
Deanna
I have to ditto everything you've said here, except for the chocolate part... I don't eat sweets, but I LOVE PEPSI!!! I'm going to strive to cut waaay back on them, though, & GET. ON. MY. TREADMILL. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!!! I have to, because I have high blood pressure & gotta lose some weight! YiKeS! =)
ReplyDeleteI think everyone has that goal of eating healthier this time of year! Especially hubby and me! We really celebrated this year with tons of cookies and candies! The wind has been howling here as well the past few days. As a matter of fact, I pointed out to hubby that a neighbor's Christmas tree is slowly making its way to our property because of the wind! I'm hoping it will just keep going! We'll see! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeletei am so excited about 2012, just for the mear fact that i am here and still smiling!!
ReplyDeletehappy new year cheryl, i am very happy we are friends!!
Healthier lifestyle seems to be the resolution of choice....in my case it sounds better that the forever resolution to lose weight!
ReplyDeleteBlessings on all your goals in the New Year!

I don't do resolutions either. I do goals and projects. That was my last blog of 2011.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your goals fro this year! HAPPY 2012!
I can relate to your goals. I have a treadmill collecting dust. And I can't stay away from sweet tea,chocolate and too many fried foods. I need to get in better shape so that I feel better.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed your blog and will continue to this 2012.
Happy New Year Cheryl!
My goal is to be in the PRESENT. Sandie
ReplyDeleteHoly Moly... it is a brand new month, and a brand new year!!
ReplyDeleteI'm making this my year to shine.
