A new year means so many different things to each of us.  I am not a big resolution maker.  I prefer to set goals instead.  This New Year’s Eve I focused on these three words: resolve, remember and rejoice.

RESOLVE

Resolve something in your life – reach a conclusion, make a decision or settle a dispute.  Are there things in your life you could resolve? Decisions you could make to allow you to move on?  Disputes that need to be resolved?  If so, don’t wait – use the opportunity of a new year and a clean slate.

REMEMBER

Remember the good times.  Memories are made nearly every day and so often we get caught up in day to day stresses that we forget to savor individual moments.  Reflect on 2009 and find the things you want to remember.  Write them down in a journal or scrapbook.   A new year does not always mean a better year.  Perhaps 2009 was an amazing year for you.  Make sure to remember all the blessing and greatness in your life.

REJOICE

Rejoice for you have a brand new year ahead.  You can use it as an opportunity to achieve goals.   Celebrate the opportunity of a fresh start.  Set goals or make resolutions if you like but savor the chance to make adjustments in your life.  Although change can be made at any time, January 1st seems to bring about an energy to help motivate and inspire us.

I wish you a healthy, happy and prosperous 2010.  I look forward to growing my readership and doing amazing things this year at The Shoe Box Daily!
