Way to go, Jane!! I agree with everything you said! I am always hard on myself, and one of my resolutions is to start to love myself again. And to accept myself as good enough!

And such great news about the baby!

I too decided to cut out negative influences from my life and seek more happiness this year. With three kids, carving out “me” time will be a challenge but I will do it! This 44-year-old needs it to save my sanity!

By the way – if you have any recommendations for a family-friendly church in the area, let me know. We’d like to start going again so we can get Logan into a Sunday School program! A great Bible Study group is a good idea too!

Gettin’ Mine In 09′! This can apply to most anything in your life- for me- it’s about keeping with a positive message in all that I do and that positive energy will come back to me.

Jane,

I love your thoughts on resolutions – we are who we are! That said, this is the year that I am going to get my house in order and lose enough weight to feel comfortable trying for baby #2! Four months of bed rest will kill a person’s weight/fitness, and kind relatives will stash things all over the house. SO – I’m going to finally get us unpacked from moving in, clear out some clutter and eat better/work out!

Yes – it has been snowing off and on, but looks like it is warming up enough, so the rain is melting all the snow. Should be gone soon!

I hope your trip has been good! Have a safe flight back.

Wendi

I made these same resolutions, Jane, about 3 years ago. While they are tough to achieve (you are going against our female culture of “be nice to everybody), you will improve your life. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this way. By the way, you have inspired me to go to Hawaii again. We leave on Jan. 25–I’m tagging along with my husband on his business trip. Maybe I’ll take a surf lesson? Here’s to a wonderful 2009. Thanks for your inspiration! JP Tammen, age 43, on Puget Sound near Bremerton

Hi Jane,

I stopped making New Year’s Resolution because I never seem to come up with something that I actually accomplish, like exercising more or eating healthier, etc. Why bother? So I try to just take things one day at a time and see where it takes me. I do have these rules that’s been helping me when I come across those bitter, angry people who try to infect you with their unhappiness….These are my Five Rules to Happiness…

1. Free your heart from hatred
2. Free your mind from worries
3. Live simply
4. Give more
5. Expect less

Everytime I read those words out loud, it helps me remind myself that their are some goodness in our world.

Take Care and I hope you have an awesome New Year!!!
