Happy New Year!
I like to take time at the start of each new year to reflect on the year past and look forward to the future. Each year I make resolutions and I actually write them down and hang the list on the bulletin board next to my desk. I refer to them often during the year. It helps to keep me focused.
In 2013, I had some hits and I had some misses. I resolved not to buy a book. So I answered surveys and earned points toward Amazon gift certificates. I also got free books to read and review from NetGalley. I went to the book store often to pick out what I wanted to nab for free elsewhere and believe it our not I was hugely successful. I never paid for a book all year.
On the other hand I resolved not to swear. That didn't work out so well.
For 2014 I resolve to do the following:
1. Write and publish a book. Put my butt in the chair and just do it!
2. Enter the Royal Palm Literary Award Contest sponsored by the Florida Writer's Association.
3. Activate my Reiki every day.
4. Treat each day as a gift.
5. Count my blessings. This will take me all year since my blessings are many and I'm certain many more new ones will be sent my way.
Whether you make resolutions or not, try to make the most out of this precious time we are given. The single act that causes the most regret in our lives is the waste of time. Once it's gone, we can never get it back.
Set a goal. Focus. Enjoy! I wish you much happiness, good health and prosperity in the coming year.
