"Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right." (Oprah Winfrey)
Hello, my lovely friends!
Happy New Year and welcome to 2024! Here we are, a shiny and fresh year full of possibilities. What are you looking forward to this year? What are your goals?
Every year the clock strikes midnight on December 31st, our minds start thinking about resolutions for the New Year. Our thoughts go to the same resolutions; drop the pounds, exercise like crazy, and eating healthy. Yes, those are the things that I want to accomplish this year, but I need a plan that is simple and will work for me. This weekend I’ll take time to think about my goals for 2024 and come up with a plan to make it successful.
Here are some of the questions I’ll be thinking about when putting my plan together.
· What do you want to change?
· Why do you want to change it?
· How will you change it?
· Give yourself a time line for each goal
· Make small monthly goals to achieve your big goal
· Write it down somewhere you can see it daily
I dusted off my books that I try to read and work through every year. I like having books that are about inspiring or getting in touch with your emotions. You know books to better yourself, but with daily things to think about or do. I don’t always read daily, but I do look over them weekly.

· Younger by the Day by Victoria Moran
· Find Your Happy Daily Mantras by Shannon Kaiser
· Eat Pretty Everyday by Jolene Hart
Now that I’ve given you something to think about, take a half-an-hour this weekend to come up with your plan and have details to them. Don’t forget to add personal resolutions like attitude changes, special things you want for yourself, and things you want to accomplish.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
I wish you a good morning, afternoon or evening wherever you are.
Talk Soon...

I want to spend more time w/my friends and family. Declutter! If I declutter STUFF, my mind will also declutter and I’ll be ready for new experiences. Definitely will keep caring for my health – physical, emotional, spiritual.
ReplyDeleteThis is the time of year to put ourselves front and center ... come up with a plan to take care of ourselves, so we have something to give to those around us who need us!
HUGS to you, your Mom and Scooter. Hope the first 2 days of January were peaceful.

Yes, I agree with you on everything. It is time to put ourselves front and center. I'm very good at talking about it, but actually doing it not so much.
DeleteI hope 2024 started out good for you too. (((BIG HUGS)))
I am beginning my 4th time of Bible in a Year with Fr. Mike. I have learned so much each time that I can't wait to see what I learn this year. I read the Saint of the Day as well and learning so much about them. For the rest, sticking to what I figured out in the past and letting go of trying to make anymore massive changes as they don't last with me. Have a blessed year my friend and thank you for the Christmas card! Hugs to you all.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful that you do that. I can see how you would learn something different each time.
DeleteYou're so very welcome. It's rare to get them in the mail now and love when one comes in. Thank you for yours too.
Have wonderful day! (((BIG HUGS)))
To be a better, kinder person. 🤗💞
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful Jeanne. I wish you a peaceful year.
DeleteEnjoy your day! (((BIG HUGS)))
Writing this a day late (sigh) and find myself in the "I'm getting tired of this already" place, mentally, re: the New Year goals. But I've made it through three days of walking a mile outside and tracking my foods... it takes 3 weeks for it to become habitual. Onward!
