 Actually, this post is rather lacking in chocolate, but I have been eating a lot of it, so that counts right?
Oh, okay, here's a pic of chocolates. They are very yummy :-) Over the years, I've found the most successful resolutions are the ones that don't try to change me. Losing weight, giving up chocolate/alcohol/smoking, running five miles every week... those things are prone to failure. One year I resolved to put my small change in the charity boxes in shops - they all have them right next to the tills, so it's hardly difficult. It becomes a habit very quickly, and I don't even notice how much I'm giving. I've done it ever since. I don't always make resolutions (sometimes I make them on my birthday instead), but this year I jokingly mentioned on Facebook that I was going to perfect the art of selfie taking. I am not at all photogenic, and if I ever take one it usually gets deleted immediately. Even the idea made me shudder. However, in my head, this morphed into Take a Selfie Every Day for a Year. And that's what I'm doing. I've created a special folder for them on my laptop, and I will not be deleting any of them. Not even the really hideous one I took today in front of a rainbow - it should have been such a good one! I probably won't share them with anyone, unless I do actually perfect the art, in which case I'll be all over the place. But it will be an interesting documentation of my year. How about you? Have you made any resolutions? Would you like to join my selfie challenge? 7/1/2016 02:26:41
I delete a lot of pictures too. The older I get, the more hideous I look in pics. And then I get nervous and that just makes the pictures that much more horrible.

I've found I can actually look at photos of myself and be okay with them. Granted, I don't plan on showing anyone else, but it's a huge step for someone who cringes at her own photos most of the time! 7/1/2016 14:11:53
I don't make resolutions. I try goals. One goal this year is to continue being healthier by losing at least ten pounds and eating more veggies and a bit less. And to promote my book. UGH. That last one's the one that scares me.

Eating more veggies is definitely easier than promoting a book! Good luck with both of those goals, Libby, and thanks for visiting :-) Leave a Reply. |
