\"\"<\/a>2013.<\/p>\n

Lucky 13!<\/p>\n

Are you feelin\u2019 it?<\/p>\n

I am.\u00a0 Wanna know why?\u00a0 Because THIS time I am NOT going to make any resolutions.\u00a0 (I\u2019m actually twitching as I type).\u00a0 But, seriously\u2026EVERY year I make a laundry list of ways to \u201cimprove\u201d myself (which, inevitably include a diet and exercise regime designed for *Olympic caliber athletes).<\/p>\n

*news flash:\u00a0 I am not an Olympic caliber athlete<\/p>\n

I saw this picture on Pinterest (via LostCreekAcres) and had to share because it sums things up nicely:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Funny, huh?<\/p>\n

So, instead of creating a checklist of unattainable goals, I\u2019ve decided to make resolutions more reflective of the \u201cbig picture.\u201d\u00a0 Mature, right?<\/p>\n

Here is MY \u201cTop 5\u201d:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Enjoy All the Little Things<\/li>\n
  2. Take Risks<\/li>\n
  3. Be Grateful<\/li>\n
  4. Make An Impact<\/li>\n
  5. Bite My Tongue (sometimes)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I do love the fresh start that the New Year brings.\u00a0 The possibility for growth seems limitless!<\/p>\n

    I also think it\u2019s important to ask two critical, very personal questions:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. What was the BEST thing that happened this year?<\/li>\n
    2. What was the WORST thing?\u00a0 And, more importantly, what did I learn from the experience?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Sorry to get all \u201cStuart Smalley\u201d on you, but, intriguing\u2026right?<\/p>\n

      I would love to hear YOUR resolutions for 2013!\u00a0 Add them to the Comments Section below!<\/p>\n
