Out With The Old, In With The New

Another year has come and gone and we are all another year older, and hopefully wiser.
Most people start the new year off with a list of resolutions and good intentions. I used to be one of them. But every year my resolutions and good intentions would only last so long and I would get frustrated with myself. So, a few years ago I resolved not to make any resolutions and finally found something I could stick to.

Don't get me wrong, I still have goals and dreams and aspirations. I just don't box myself into the yearly time frame. I believe if you do something every day towards your goals then you are successful. Even if it's the absolute least thing you can do you've still accomplished something. Some days are better than others, make the most of them and do what you can.

Even though I don't make resolutions, I still want to better myself and my world around me. And since I have been so sick with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) I have been more commited to trying to live a greener life. We've been using non-toxic cleaning supplies and personal care items for over a year now and we try to buy as many organic products as possible, but there are still many more ways to improve. I posted a blog that I visited today "Living In A Toxic World" hoping that anyone who visits my site will also visit this site and find out more of what they can do to leave a smaller foot print on the world. Another interesting place to visit would be Oprah's web site she did an excellent show last week on green living. Even the smallest things can make a big difference.

I hope the New Year is good to us all and that we will have the things we need and want. Mostly I wish health and happiness to those I hold dear. Make the most of the time we have with our loved ones and remember fondly those who are no longer with us.
