Resolutions don't seem to last long. Actually, much of what I start doesn't get finished. But this morning I really liked the feeling that I got when I woke up. I woke up happy and productive. I was all caught up with work stuff by 9am.
Tomorrow, I start my new work schedule of 6am to 3pm. It just adds to the feeling of getting back on track. I enjoy routine with a few dashes of spontaneity.
Ideally I would like to eat less junk, work out, blog more, read a book a month, stay organized, be nicer (more positive) and travel. I'm pretty sure I can accomplish the reading part. The book for January was One Day. This month I started reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. As for the others... I am working on them. I might even try blogging every day, even when I don't have much to say.
Something else happened this afternoon. My favorite vegan food truck posted a link to a video of Shawn Achor giving a speech on the happy secret to better work. I am going to take his advice and for the next 21 days I will write down 3 new things I am grateful for each day. It starts today.
I am grateful for:
1. Books-I have no words for how much I have always loved them.
2. Pixie-adopted as a kitten and now almost 3yrs old. She makes me smile every day.
3. Living in orange county- it's a short drive to the beach, san diego, mexico, LA and the weather tends to be in the perfect mid 70s range.
I have a feeling that this happiness/grateful thing is going to look great on me. ;)
