I have to say, I LOVE New Year's resolutions! I know a lot of people who don't like them and never make them, but I really like the idea of starting fresh. It gives me hope and energy to think that this year will be different. Even if I don't keep them, I think it's worth making them.
My New Year's Resolutions of 2012:
1. I will walk for 30 minutes every morning.
2. I will switch to a mainly plant-based diet, following this food pyramid. (I saw 2 documentaries that have led to this one: "Forks over Knives" and "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead". Check them out.)
3. I will have fresh juice or a green smoothie at least once a day.
4. I will write to my Bosnian sister on the first of each month. (I sponsor a Bosnian woman through Women for women. I always send the money, but I'm ashamed to say I rarely write like I'm supposed to.)
5. I will be the best mother I can possibly be.
6. I will spend more time and energy on people, and less time and energy on things.
I also LOVE to read other people's resolutions (so I can steal the good ones). What are yours?
