The end of the year is finally upon us. For some this was a great year that will hopefully lead into another great year. For others, this year will not be looked back upon with fond memories. For me, it contains the good and the bad, but sometimes one greatly outweighs the other. While most the year was perfectly fine, the death of my dad will always color my perception of this year. No matter how good or how bad, 2011 will soon be gone.
With the new year comes a lot of new beginnings, like those pesky resolutions that will most likely take a backseat by the end of January and maybe even sooner. I don't necessarily make resolutions, but I try to start the year off with good intentions. However, they may sound quite similar to frequently made resolutions...eat better, exercise more, stay organized, pick up a new hobby, save more money... No matter how good my intentions are, they quickly fall to the wayside.
Change is hard. Even though the hope for better habits is usually the motivating factor behind resolutions, staying the same in our eating and exercising habits or organizational and financial state is much easier. After all, it has been that way for a while and things have been fine, so why put forth all the effort. But even though failure looms very near the surface, I will still start the year off with good intentions to change some habits.
Resolutions or no resolutions, I hope you have a Happy New Year!!
