I love New Year's day. I feel as if I have been given a new opportunity to set my life back on the path that I strayed from somewhere along the way. I find myself cutting myself some slack, giving myself a break so to speak. And once again trying to commit to doing right, by and to myself.I have to admit that every year I make a list of things I want to accomplish. Not unlike half the people in the USA, I too make Resolutions. A resolutions is no different from a commitment but we don't call it a commitment because then it would imply that we MUST accomplish this goal and not that we "intend" on accomplishing this goal. A Resolution is an intent, a Commitment is a commitment, no way around it. Intend and commit? Not the same thing.
So this year I will not resolve but I will Commit to doing right by Me, and for Me. I will Commit to cutting myself some slack, I will commit to being a Mom AND a woman, I will commit to setting aside time for Myself, regardless of the chaos in my life. I will commit to starting my journey back to Myself. I will commit to help myself as much as I help others.
There, I said it. I wrote it, I own it! For some reason I am thinking that Resolving to lose 100 pounds sounded easier than my short list but hey, this year I'm going all out. At 45 it's time to step it up and Go Big.
Now if I could only find my Big Girl undies I might feel more confident... wish me luck and tell me what you are ready to commit to. Happy New Year!

Great post on resolutions Brenda! I wish you the very best with all of them! I'm on the weight lose bandwagon myself...and I resolve to drink more water..exercise more...and I really like your resolution to cut yourself some slack so I think I may have to adopt that one as well! Best wishes for 2011!
Brenda, here is what I commit to. This is a big year for me...retirement!

Hi Brenda, I love your post, as always. I pray that along with myself, you hit your goals. The years come and go so fast, that we should remember that, especially when it comes to weight loss. I always think "OMG, it is going to take soooooo long to loose all the weight that I need to loose." But in fact it will be gone before I know it:) Your a special lady! Blessings to you and your beautiful son.
Love, Cheryl Villano
Love your resolutions....and well...I am looking for my own undies at this minute....I look forward to your many post this year and continued friendship!
Woohoo! Am standing on the sidelines shaking my pompoms. you go girl!
that was similar to my resolution last year, and I never regretted it. I even took the chance when I had a little extra money to hire a gal to watch my girls for one day a week over the summer for 2-3 hours at a time so I could sew uninterupted, read a book, just have some "me" time. I felt guitly about it the first few times while they were playing and coming and going and I Was sitting on the couch, but it was so worth it. I wish I could do it again, maybe in the spring. when the energy bill goes back down!
I am going to go with the flow and see what happens, this year, lol. No pressure or deadlines, need time for me. Love the family photo.
