No resolution. No cry.

I’ve chatted ad nauseum about how I dont do New Year’s resolutions.

They frazzle me (I dont thrive on self-imposed life pressure).

They cause me to rebel (Im a grownup that way. It’s the same reason why, when Ren Man a trainer shouts EIGHT MORE REPS! I quit after 3…).

They, in my experience, set me up for failure.

I instead choose to think we’re gifted with the chance to make new and ‘better’ choices each morning.

Hell, each MOMENT we encounter a crossroads we’re given the opportunity to choose the path we most want for ourselves.

As a result, tomorrow is just plain ole Sunday around here.

No brand!new!plans!

No this year is going to be different because_____.

Sure, we may take the time to revisit our goals & mission statements (as individuals and as a family), but the revisiting is no more powerful or pivotal than it will be six months from now when we do the same.

I read a quote in a magazine recently which expressed perfectly why tomorrow is no different for me than any other day:*

Everyday is the first day of what’s left of your life.

(powerful stuff huh? the “what’s left” gets this 42.5 year old every time)

So have a happy & healthy today.

Have an exciting &  energetic tomorrow.

And remember: we’re never as far from our resolutions, goals, plans, or creating the life we want than our very.next.choice.

See you in 2012!
