WHAT TO DO WITH A NEW BEGINNING!

Good Morning Foodies! Here we are already one week into the NEW YEAR! Have you followed your resolutions or have they gone by the wayside already. No fear, do not beat yourself up! Never, never, never look at not maintaining your RESOLUTIONS as a FAILURE—just think of it as tweaking it, so that it fits into your life style. We often make these RESOLUTIONS to constrictive with little wiggle room.

A friend recently sent me an article about NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS and I thought it pretty much sums it up. It sort of goes like this:
“A NEW YEAR often gets us thinking about time—HOW MUCH WE HAVE LEFT; WHAT WE HAVE TO DO AND WHAT WE’D LIKE TO GET DONE! Since we really don’t know how much time we have left, we should evaluate our decisions and try to make our selections wisely.
So before you tweet or post or email or text—STOP AND THINK! There should always be time for PHONE CALLS and hearing someone’s VOICE. There should always be time for SAYING WHAT YOU MEAN and MEANING WHAT YOU SAY! There should always be time for a glass of CHAMPAGNE, because as NAPOLEON once said, it CELEBRATES VICTORY and CONSOLES US IN DEFEAT. There should always be time to write LETTERS because they last a LIFETIME. There should always be time to SHOW YOUR REAL FACE—not your SELFIE—to FRIENDS AND FAMILY. There should always be time to do the RIGHT THING AND LOOK AFTER those around us because it is the AMERICAN WAY!

I know those are some pretty heavy thoughts so I will close with a little humor for you! A friend told me she is starting the New Year off right and starting her diet with either ATKINS OR JENNY CRAIG! She asked if I wanted to be her support buddy. I told her, “I AM HERE FOR YOU BUT MY DIET PROGRAM OF SARA LEE WORKS JUST FINE FOR ME!” Remember don’t take life too seriously—go with the flow and enjoy the moment!

Have a safe and productive weekend! By the way, BRRRRRR, IT IS COLD OUTSIDE! Stay warm!
