Welcoming a New Year

I used to make resolutions only to discover that I quickly forgot about them.  Then I purposely didn't make resolutions because I wasn't going to fall into that trap.  After all nothing really changed.  Time continued on and would have even if the ball was never dropped and the horns were never blown.  We humans are not the controller of time.  Time controls us.

Well this year I am not making resolutions instead I am doing things.  And thanks to the Google Keep app, I have them on a checklist that I see everyday.  They aren't things I want to change about myself. They are simply things that are important to me that I want to be mindful of and prioritize.  Things like playing games one night each week with my family, taking the children somewhere different each month, finding a new brewery to visit with my husband monthly, and drawing something everyday.  They involve guarding the time and savoring it to enjoy these activities.
