I am not a "resolutioner" as my trainer called them today - we all know who/what they are - the people who join the gym and take up all of the treadmills for about 6 weeks - and then in mid-February we have our regular space back. I just can't use the word "resolution" - it doesn't work for me, I truly feel it is just setting yourself up for failure and disappointment. Nope, I just have some things that I'm going to try to keep doing on a regular basis and with any luck, it will cause happiness and improved mental and physical health.
One of these things is to try to do something creative every day - be it spinning, knitting, art journaling, even if it's just putting some pictures in some pocket pages (did someone say Project Life?) and adding some stuff to tell the story. I know that I always feel better when I've spent a little crafty time - either here in my room or with friends.
So today? Yup, just did it - I went to the gym and worked with my trainer after work and now I'm putting a few strokes across a page in one of my art journals. And now I think I'll sleep well tonight. All I hope is that I see some smiles in the elevator again tomorrow morning - that first "post shut-down glow" day is so enchanting!
