Wishing you a grand day and there is an extension of the Holiday for you at my post. My best!

I'm working on that one now!!<br /><br />Hope you have an absolutely delightful new year, and will be praying that you will be able to check off at least half of your list at year's end!!<br /><br />Love ya!!<br />BeckyBECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272099392249278847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-56297116181794365662010-01-03T15:31:40.354-05:002010-01-03T15:31:40.354-05:00I liked hearing the way you delegated and down-siz...I liked hearing the way you delegated and down-sized your Christmas prep. Well done! <br /><br />I'm not recording ANYthing as a "resolution". Seems even that word scares us. Goals, however have always "helped me" (somehow) to stick to an intention and reach a desired objective. I recorded a few in my journal where I'll meet them daily as I continue to journal. I've kind of decided not to list them in one place on my blog lest I offend anyone.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-2102595670146780932010-01-02T22:45:12.682-05:002010-01-02T22:45:12.682-05:00I really like all of your New Year's resolutio...I really like all of your New Year's resolutions. Most of them are things I'm working on too. Christmas Eve is always great here because we usually have sandwiches and snacks. I use paper plates and this year reindeer cups LOL We don't have a sit down dinner. The important thing to me is like you say keeping my traditions and enjoying the time with my family. I use bags for most of my gifts. You can get two bags for a dollar at the dollar store and they look great with a little red or green tissue paper LOL I think there are ways to have wonderful celebrations and parties with out all of the expense and formality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-2764299468192902632010-01-02T22:07:38.059-05:002010-01-02T22:07:38.059-05:00Interesting how you mentioned de-cluttering becaus...Interesting how you mentioned de-cluttering because that is one of my most favorite things to do. I usually find lost treasures when I do that, and I love the empty space I acquire too! I also used disposables this past holiday season. In fact we are having all our kids in town over tomorrow for dinner and I already have my china-like paper plates out and ready! I hope you keep us posted on your resolutions. I'm always looking for new ways to do things.Grandma Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09587160523698527979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-78227781992567152822010-01-02T20:40:56.547-05:002010-01-02T20:40:56.547-05:00What wise and terrific thoughts, Eileen!!!

I think we all should de-clutter our lives, I did a lot of that last year and love the space it has created and how much tidier and cleaner my life and home is......big hugs to Jayden and Mia......:-) HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-54477546876678319272010-01-01T23:45:45.089-05:002010-01-01T23:45:45.089-05:00Eilene, you do have a list of worthy things to str...Eilene, you do have a list of worthy things to strive for...anyone could benefit from doing them. <br />If I made any resolutions it would be to make each day special in some little way for my husband and myself...even if it's just sharing tea and biscotti...or wine and chocolate...and to be healthy and fit so we can both see 2020.<br /><br />I wish all good things for all of us in the village.<br />Enjoy the New Year Eileen!Wanda.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/00551160819558198338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-34951314244912719122010-01-01T20:25:48.078-05:002010-01-01T20:25:48.078-05:00Hi Eileen....I'm proud of your goals and resol...Hi Eileen....I'm proud of your goals and resolutions. They seem like that they are ones that are attainable. I seem to set ones that aren't....so, I didn't set many this year. My main one is to drink more water. If I can do that and cut out on the amount of soft drinks that I consume, I know that I will feel healthier.<br />I hope that your new year is wonderful. I love blogging with you. You are a very sweet and dear friend.<br />Smiles to you from JackieJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214796594702277709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660197240885544447.post-12377138666945657382010-01-01T19:11:09.715-05:002010-01-01T19:11:09.715-05:00Hi Eileen my dear friend...and thankyou for mentio...Hi Eileen my dear friend...and thankyou for mentioning me in your blog : ) <br /><br />Let's just try focus on the good choices we make each day, and forget about 'ALL' the bad ones, they seem to get far too much attention anyway! <br /><br />I like the idea of spending more time on a prayer journal, one prayer at a time, who knows what miraculous things could happen! When you write prayers down, you actually have a record of all your blessings! And miracles too! Let all of us Villagers and our families have a Miraculous 2010!!!

But as you said it is an ongoing project and if you keep that in mind and your goals in focus, you can achieve whatever it is that you want. But you really have to want to do it.<br /><br />Some people set unrealistic goals that they really don't want to do anyway. They're just setting themselves up for failure in that case.<br /><br />You seem to really want to accomplish these goals Eileen as I remember you mentioning some of them before. Just let me know when you need a cheerleader and I will be there for you!!<br /><br />Eating healthy has always been a goal for me. So I guess that is what I would continue to try to do. I just try not to think to much about it as it stresses me out more. Like t. said, one meal at a time! Love DiDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429812875586479256noreply@blogger.com
