I’m not real big on making New Year’s resolutions any more but for those who are still searching for something to resolve in the new year, I took the liberty of putting this little short list together for you. Feel free to add on.
- When there is a gorgeous handbag that I want need, I will buy it and not feel guilty.
- I will take the credit and not just chalk it up to luck or team work.
- I will not sit quietly in a meeting when I know I have a better idea.
- I will erase the phrase “I’ll just do it myself” from my vocabulary.
- When I come home from work, I will resist the urge to go into a cleaning frenzy. The clothes stay on the floor. So. There.
- I will outsource all non-value added activities like housework.
- I will stop waiting to lose 10, 20 or a gazillion pounds before I invest in my personal appearance.
- I will stop trying to stop swearing. It just doesn’t f^&*$g work.
- I will (every now and then) behave badly just to remind myself that well-behaved women rarely make history.
- I will remember to be grateful every day.
- I will live my life with passion and purpose.
- I’ll do it anyway, even if I feel afraid or think it will make me unpopular.
- I’ll remember that at the end of the day, no one ever wished they spent more time at the office.

I should print this for my home office. My husband is reading this and laughing so hard.
Blessing, glad you liked the post and thanks for sharing with your husband. I was surprised that my husband got a kick out of it too 🙂
This is funny! Great way to kick off the year 🙂 #8 made me laugh.
Thanks for stopping by, Steph. Your blog reminds me that I should have also put “Be positive”on the list — there is so much doom and gloom out there that it’s good to remember that our attitude determines our outlook. Hope your 2012 is off to a great start.
Love, love, love this list!! I might have to steal some of them!
Latorsha, please be my guest!
Love these! Thanks for sharing. I love 10, 11 and 4 – Still working on #1 though. You are making me re-think my lack of resolutions (as relaxing as it is not to have any). Happy New Year.
Tracy, glad you liked these! I’m a firm believer that having no resolutions is perfectly fine! These days, I’m all about making one or two commitments that I can work on for the whole year and actually keep. Thanks for stopping by and I hope your year is off to a good start.
