My Winter Manifesto

We didn’t make any resolutions this time last year, in fact just getting through the new year intact was a bloody miracle and guess what I didn’t feel any worse off for not having these things hanging over me. I am not sure the beginning of the year, when the nights are dark and the days dank and wet is the best time to make resolutions. So as I did in Autumn, I am doing a Winter Manifesto.

Start Pilates lessons, I have found beginner lessons and the consultant things it would be good for my back
Keep on using my Philips goLITE daily for up to 45 minutes (it really makes a difference in my mood)
Get my craft back on. I have enjoyed the small things I have done at Christmas, so I have ordered a cross stitch kit to give me a kick start
Get the raised beds sorted and plant some seeds
Try and make a home made gift a month, to put away for birthdays and Christmas
To continue taking the boys to the park after school on dry days
To make one day a weekend a family day out, even if it is a car picnic in the rain
To listen to my body more and learn to take action
To take a photo a day
To work with the boys in decluttering the playroom and their bedrooms
To start to decorate the house (finances willing)
To back up my data

See there is nothing there that is difficult. I like the fact that I set myself short term task and goals and have learned to make them a lot more realistic. I took the pic above today from the car window.
