Monday Musing

Oh back to work for the first full week after the holiday break.  Sigh... It's always hard for me to transition from the excitement and bright lights of Christmas, to the dismal cold January weather in NYC.  So far (if you count one week as being far) so good though.  I have managed to remain positive, even when it pertained to getting out of bed this morning and starting the work day.

Since Mondays are hard, I decided to try and gather inspiration to keep my mind focused on the lovely things that i would like to incorporate in my life.  Here goes:

Note to Self, one of my favorite blogs opened a print shop today.  This would look amazing in a bathroom or dressing room.

My Blogging Skills...

Yup that's it...less than perfect, but still okay.  Hopefully sometime soon I can get around to outfit, food, and general life pics, but for now this quote is pretty inspirational.

Resolutions

via Pinterest

It's always difficult to narrow down a manageable amount of improvements to make in the new year.  I, for one, have a very many things that I feel I could improve upon to better myself and my impact on the people around me.  This new year, however, I have decided that happiness is the key.  If I am happy, I can make others happy, simple as that. So, in order to do this Mike and I made joint resolutions, and I added a couple personal goals to ensure that 2012 is great, and that we can continue beyond this year happier than we have been in the past because after all, what more is there to life than improving yourself and feeling more fulfilled?!  Here goes:

Our resolutions:

Spend no money on clothes, shoes, or other unnecessary items until June 2012.

Have two dates a month.

Love more and argue less.

work on controlling anxiety.

My resolutions:

Blog at least 3 times a week.

Enjoy more moments in the present.

That's it...Any resolutions that you are working on in 2012?  An even numbered year...I think those tend to be better.
