Hey everyone!
Well we are already 6 days into 2011 and I feel like this is going to be a GREAT year! We rang in the New Year with a super fun party at our house with all of our best friends and family! My 18 year old cousin Caroline was staying with us that weekend because my aunt and uncle were out of town - and we had so much fun! The day after the party me and Caroline were "sick" so we watched movies all day - it was seriously the perfect way to spend the first day of the new year! So when i say this is going to be a great year, I KNOW this is going to be the best year yet and here is why. Every year people - myself included - get so caught up in setting resolutions. Whether its to eat healthier, exercise more, loose xx pounds, stay in touch with friends better, and on and on and on. My resolution this year is - to NOT have any resolutions! Now don't get me wrong - I'm all about goal setting and if you are someone that set some new years resolution and you think i am being a downer right now, please do not take me that way! Here is the reasoning for my non-resolution new year - its really simple actually - I am very happy the way my life is right now! Could I exercise more - you bet, do I need to loose weight - you bet, could I do a better job of staying in touch with old friends - you bet, but the bottom line is I do the best job I can at all of those things without resolutions. I'm not going to put myself in a position where I made a resolution to loose 10 pounds and then Sunday night rolls around (me and david go to old chicago every sunday night!) and me and David are sitting at Old Chicago and I have to turn down pizza and beer! Sorry, not gonna happen. All you dieters out there are probably sitting there saying (yes I have done weight watchers before - so i get it and this is why i am saying this), "kathryn, its ok to eat pizza every once in awhile". What I am doing with my "no resolution new year" is taking the guilt out of it. If eating pizza and beer every Sunday night makes me happy and it means I am 10 pounds heavier - that is a price i am willing to pay. So the point of me typing this post isn't to be a downer - its actually the opposite! It's to let everyone know who reads this how happy I am with every aspect of my life and how lucky I feel to have all of you in my life. We are all passionate about different things - whether its sports, reading, cooking, working out, etc. - and if you set a resolution related to any of those things I hope you are doing it because it makes you happy. If you did set a resolution please comment on this post and share it with us! I would love to hear about some of the new years resolutions people made!
Well, I am going to have to wrap this post up because its 10pm and I dont' stay up very late =) I don't have much going on this weekend so I will try to write another post in the next few days and maybe even upload some pictures from New Years!
Thank you all for reading, and Happy New Years!!
