Commit to Ourselves

Happy New Year! (Or will it be the same as last year?)

In 2oo9, I vow to finish my newest novel and find an agent (I'm a third of the way through the last draft.). I vow to take my Weight Watchers membership more seriously and lose that annoying 20 pounds. I also vow to improve my finances and hopefully find a better-paying teaching job.

Every year starts with comments such as these, but at the end of the year, these comments have not become reality. Why? Because we lose sight of ourselves and what we need. We resort into habits and becoming so busy that we don't make time for ourselves.

May 2009 be a better year for us, this country, and the world.
