The first day

Tweet

This is the first day of the rest of our lives. I was just sitting here, wondering how I could make a difference in my life. Lately, I've been very lazy, not getting enough exercise. I am not one to make New Year's resolutions. They are only made to break. I know people always have good intentions when they make them. What I can do, though, is to try and change my life to make it better. I need to exercise because I have a full hip replacement from 7 1/2 years ago. I can tell by it that I need to get back to exercising as the surgeon told me I needed to do in order for it to work without bothering me. Another thing is that I need to learn I can part with things that I think might be useful and get my house a little more organized. Oh, I have a clean house, just that I keep lots of things I could get rid of. Many years ago, I figured out I could get rid of all the Southern Living books and others I had kept. It didn't kill me to just throw them out. After all, who reads them again? Yesterday, while my husband was gone to my daughter's to work on her car, I decided I could take a good look at my refrigerator. I threw out pickles that nobody will eat. Why let things clutter up your refrigerator? I'm the world's worst at that, believe me! So, today, instead of New Year's resolutions being made to be broken, I am going to try and remember to do things a little differently this year. I want to exercise, throw out things before putting them away if they aren't going to be needed (keeps closets cleaner, too!), talk to friends more on the phone, and just start the New Year with a clean slate! How about you? Are there changes in your life you could make to make things better for you? You don't have to make a New Year's resolution over it, but just try and make things better for yourself.
