[info] I can’t tell you the last time I mailed anything.  I had these to sell some of my books on eBay.  So what are my new year’s resolutions?  Well, honestly, I don’t really have any.  Catchy title though, hey?  I don’t wait until the first of the year to do things I should be doing all year long.  I just start them in the middle of the year.  My no retail shopping challenge started in May.  This downsizing challenge started in February.

Make your new year’s resolution to not make and new year’s resolutions.  Instead, plan to do things throughout the year that need to be done.  Don’t wait to loose weight, clean out your house, or better yet, don’t wait to make that radical life change you’ve been pondering for a long time.  At the risk of sounding like a shoe company, just do it.  Research anything that’s a big change to make sure it’s the right thing for you to do.  Then do it.  Now.  No, I mean right now.  Get off the computer and go take that first step.
