time to reflect...

...It’s that time of year again. A new year where one look towards the future while reflecting upon the past. I am not one who usually makes New Year's resolutions, for I invariable break them — sometimes before I can write them down. This year, however, I've decided to make my list and I believe I am able to actually do it for 2011;

  1. Stop Overspending: Who does not love to shop? This one will be tough but I promise to stop overspending and start living within my means. I want to genuinely manage and get out of debt and then save money for a rainy day!
  2. Indulge in Moderation: I love to eat and drink...no doubt. I won't say I'll quit eating junk food or not have a sip of alcohol. I'll definitely break it. Instead I promise to indulge in moderation for a more realistic approach to healthier eating.
  3. Get More Sleep: I admit I'm a night owl. I wake up every single morning of my life groggy and soft-headed. I do not find every morning fantastically beautiful – many of them are gray and cold and not at all inspiring. But I'm getting older and I admit I should be getting more sleep. It will certainly require some effort on my part but I promise to get more sleep and I think my body and mind will thank me and appreciate the extra Zs.
  4. Floss Regularly: I promise to floss my teeth and gums regularly!
  5. Do Exercises that Make Me Happy: I've talked and talked and talked about exercising since 2008...then, to get my body in shape for the wedding but I never DID! This past year was a flop too. I promise to do exercises that make me happy that will more likely have me exercising regularly and see weight loss results. 
  6. Recycle: I promise to recycle plastic, paper, glass, aluminum and other recyclable products in order to do something good for the environment.
  7. Give More Affection: I am affectionate but I tend to throw tantrums now and then, especially towards the husband. I promise to be less grumpy, crabby and moody and give more affection every day. A smile, give more hugs, kind words...it's not too terribly hard to show affection to those I care about, right?

I also like to become more organized, get pregnant, share a photo every day for a year and hopefully take a trip or two to visit home and/or a new destination.

Hau'oli Makahiki Hou - Happy New Year and I wish you all the best in 2011. Have a good weekend everyone! :D
