Asha Dornfest: My Personal New Year’s Resolution for 2010

    • “Getting organized.” Pretty general and diffuse as New Year’s resolutions go, isn’t it? And yet so many of us make that our Number One goal for the next year. I find myself resolving to be more organized next year (as I do most years), but this time, I’ve got a specific motivation in mind which I think will make all the difference.

    I turned 41 a few weeks ago, and I’m well settled into my mid-life…not crisis, exactly…more curiosity. I’m more aware than ever that letting time mindlessly slip by is about as smart as throwing money into the ocean. The kids are growing. The grandparents are getting older. It’s time to get moving on those hopes and dreams. And to not lose sight of what makes me…me.

    What about you? What will you do next year to get closer to your dreams?

      I’m with you! My New Year’s resolution is to declutter and to get rid of all of the extra junk in my house. Wish me luck! I hope we both are able to accomplish our goals.

      A day for yourself – what a great idea! We get far to busy in the chaos of life that we forget to take some time for ourselves. As my wife, Judie says, “if momma ain’t happy no one’s happy”. Stick to it and I’m sure you’ll find the added balance – starting with yourself – will make for a fantastic 2010!
