Happy New Year!\u00a0 2014!\u00a0 It will take me an entire month to remember the New Year!\u00a0 According to popular press, I am supposed to get my home organized, prepare healthier meals, and exercise more.\u00a0 And anything else that will make me a better person.\u00a0 Statistics show that by the end of January, many dieters have fallen off the wagon, as have the would be exercisers.\u00a0 So many messages\u2014what is a person to do?<\/span><\/p>\n

I for one could be more organized.\u00a0 Anyone who knows me knows that!\u00a0 I would welcome better organization\u2014it would make so many things easier!\u00a0 It is an ongoing hope of mine.\u00a0 Small steps!\u00a0 I did clean out my receipts and bill pile today to get ready for income tax.\u00a0 My empty box sure looks nice!<\/span><\/p>\n

Healthier meals-I agree!\u00a0 How about different meals?\u00a0 I am bored with my winter repertoire that my family enjoys.\u00a0 I want more fruits and fresh veggies\u2014and why can\u2019t I get them now?\u00a0 Fresh salads!\u00a0 I went to the grocery store this weekend and did just that\u2014bought more fresh foods to eat.\u00a0 We have been trying not to eat out lately also.\u00a0 Meals at home are better for us, and cost less.\u00a0 So, lots of mushrooms and green onions and lettuce.\u00a0 Makes me feel summery already!\u00a0 This is also ongoing.\u00a0 Healthier meals for all of us, and weight loss are on my radar screen\u2014both to get all of us to the healthiest point we can be!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Exercise.\u00a0 Amen.\u00a0 We own a treadmill.\u00a0 We use it.\u00a0 Three times a week\u2014times two people, sometimes five people!\u00a0 The treadmill repairman says we abuse our machine.\u00a0 I disagree\u2014we USE IT!\u00a0 We don\u2019t hang laundry on it.\u00a0 I love exercise videos too.\u00a0 It would be wonderful to have the time and money to go to the gym daily, but it\u2019s not in the cards for us right now.\u00a0 So we have free weights, and do the best we can.\u00a0 I believe we need to do it better\u2014and we will try.\u00a0 Again, another work in progress.<\/span><\/p>\n

The point of this article is to understand that none of us has to be perfect. \u00a0\u00a0We fail because we set our goals to perfection\u2014not to being realistic.\u00a0 Some exercise is better than none.\u00a0 \u00a0Something green in the diet is good for us!\u00a0 Being able to find your car keys in the morning is probably a good thing too!\u00a0 We need to strive to keep trying.\u00a0 Slow and steady wins the race.\u00a0 My hope for you, dear reader is that in 2014, we all live in the moment, and enjoy what is going on this minute\u2014and not thinking about what you could be doing.\u00a0 Live, laugh and love\u2014all good advice\u2014add to it healthier meals and exercise\u2014and we will all be happier at this time next year!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
