My Resolution Check List

I am so a work in progress, New Year's arriving often in my psyche, as I continually add to my checklist of areas to improve upon.

Exercise...check!

Healthy and mindful eating...check, for the most part.  Except when I "mindfully" put a honking piece of cake in my mouth.

What I really need to work on is my lack of spontaneity.

Planning is good, I thrive on a good plan, but there are simply too many opportunities I miss, simply, because, well, it's not on my list.  There should be a balance, a yin to my yang.

Although a difficult concept, I am trying to loosen up, fly by the seat of my pants.

Why, just today, instead of my usual morning writing, I shook things up by going to the mall.  I got sucked into the shopping vortex of a Bloomingdale's sale and then I came down with what I am sure was a self-imposed guilt headache.

Coincidence, I think not.  So I am home writing and miraculously my headache vanished.  Maybe I can change, perhaps with baby steps.

In the meantime, I've decided, with enough preparation, I can learn to be very spontaneous.
