Resolute moments

I got up this morning expecting blizzard and so far, there is rain!  Snow and freezing temps await according to Bob Reeves, the weather guru.  We are all waiting and staying in and thinking about a world which is confined to one's home.  It's like olden times.  I even got the newspaper out of the yard this morning and I read a column about three ways to set yourself up for resolution success.

l.  Find your motivation  -- Pauline Wallin says:  "When a goal is intrinsic--something you want for personally meaningful reasons -- you are more energized to pursue it."

2.  Remove the obstacles.   Convenience is key to making a new routine last.

3.  Watch your words.  They reflect your intention and mind-set.  So say I WILL.

My resolution is I want to find my daily joy, cut out the negative drama in my life, and not wear out my words and my welcome.  Some conversation of doom and gloom may be necessary but it does not have to dominate every conversation and hour.   I can visit doom and gloom but I must NOT take up residence there.  To do so destroys my joy in living each day.
