I just realized something……  2009 is almost over!  Where did the year go?  New Year’s Day was just yesterday.  Time flies…..I don’t understand that expression.  The calendar ticks away at the same rate every day.  We’re responsible for making  time seem to slip through our fingers.  Just yesterday, I chuckled at my sarcasm while telling a friend that I didn’t know how I got everything done when I worked a full time job.

Like every year before, millions begin with New Year’s Resolutions.  And like every year, many do not commit to their resolutions and well…by February, everything is back to the way it was before Jan. 1st.  I am just as guilty of doing it.  Every year I say to myself that this  is the year that I am going to lose weight, get rich, and turn the clock back.  Well, perhaps, I set my self up for failure or have the wrong definition for my resolutions.

Like for every success story in weight loss, financial planning, or even time management, there has to be a plan put into place.  A plan can insure your success by making goals…. reachable goals…. and committing to a “brain change.”  New Year’s resolutions can be successful if we would just take the time and plan how we are going to obtain those goals.  We are talking about baby steps.  Not jumping into it with both feet, running and putting blinders on…. that will only set you up for failure.  Like I do every year……  BUT

2010 can be lived out to the fullest and it is my resolution to do so.  I am working on several plans to begin my new year to conquer weight loss, saving money, and becoming more energy efficient.  Over the next few posts I will be talking about my plans.  Check back on Monday my plan for weight loss.

Until then…….

God Bless
