A Reflective New Year?

Well, I’ve been reading ya’lls blogs (ok not all of you but some of you) with reflections from the year and resolutions for the year to come and it got me thinking what my own would be.

I guess my resolutions for next year are to NOT

• get arrested
• move house
• be sick for a good whack of the year
• put back on all the weight I’d lost over the previous 18 months 
• have a hysterectomy
• have more legal battles with the freak over Miss Lou
• set my kitchen alight or
• hit a kangaroo with my car

cos I did all that this year. So. Next year. I’m thinking……………

Financially I’d like to –  

• reduce our debt by at least $250 a month
• start voluntary super contributions
• purchase a new lounge suite
• purchase a new (used) car
• purchase a full size piano
• purchase new mattresses for the kids beds
• learn to stick to a budget & reduce our household running expenses
• to be able to pay all sporting/music/excursion fees etc upfront this year.

For our family I’d like to –

• be more consistent with household routines
• have a couple of camping weekends away through the year
• have a weeks family holiday at the coast later in the year
• have more regular family times
• host friends and family more often

For myself I’d like to

• be more consistent with my routines 
• develop better sleep habits
• exercise regularly
• continue to develop better eating habits
• lose 15 kg’s
• get the problems with my sinuses sorted
• get back into crafting group and prayer group regularly
• get my MR licence so I can drive the fire truck

We’ll see how it goes. Some of those will be fairly easy (like setting up a payment contribution for the super), some will be quite hard and I am not a very disciplined person. I’m seriously hoping with the hysterectomy sorting a few of my health problems that my energy will soon increase again and with it my motivation.

Edit:- I must also go visit some of my internets (especially Kelley)

Wish me luck! 🙂
