Happy New Year!!!!

Whelp, we have one week under our belt of this New Year. For me, 2009 went out with a bang...that's for sure. I hate to dredge it up, so I'll let by-gones be by-gones. New Attitude!!!

I've come up with a few resolutions:
1. Have Less; Experience More.
2. Use PEEP (a place for everything and everything in its place)


Because my job is so hurry - wait...hurry - wait. I have a lot of time to do nothing. So, over the year, I've filled that time with shopping. Sometimes I just window shop, and other times I spend. At the end of the year I looked over my bank statements, just to see where my money has gone. You would not, could not, imagine the number of on-line transactions I have made.

Resolution #1. I realized I needed after reading and watching what the Happiest People on Earth do to stay happy....and above all, they renounce THINGS. This allows them to experience more without the need for things to hold them down or hold them back. Recently, Oprah had an episode where she visited Denmark. What a county. The people are amazing. Scandinavian living is something I could get use to. I love the architecture and the minimal living. The food looks scrumptious. I agree with their ways of looking at the world, the community and relationships. I wish our lawmakers would take a hard look at Denmark. I know taxes are high....but for a good reason. Ok, enough about Denmark....my point is they have less stuff and are seemingly more happy.

My second resolution is contingent on the first, I realize this. But with that in mind, it will be easier for me to accomplish goal #1. If it doesn't have a place, it GOES.

I'm looking for 2010 to be a year of personal growth. I am waiting with baited breath to see what 2010 has in store for me and mine.

See ya in a few days....we are going on VACATION....can't wait to post!!!
