It's been a beautiful day today. The holidays are winding down, but not quite over. The new year is just about to begin. This is the time of year when we look back to the past and see where we need some improvement. As we set our new years resolutions, let's remember not to just select the typical "lose weight", or "exercise more", or "quit _________". Let's put some thought into it. And be realistic about it! Remember, we want to improve ourselves not give ourselves some unreachable goal that may look noble and grand, but makes us feel like a complete failure later! One of my favorite quotes is by a wonderfully brilliant woman, Barbara B. Smith, who just so happens to be my grandmother! It says, "Goal are stars to steer by, not sticks to beat ourselves with"! She was always very wise! I think that when we choose what we will do to improve ourselves this year, we need to remember not to be so hard on ourselves if we fail to reach our goal that we never want to try again. Just be good to yourself! Have a very happy new year!
