Wow the holidays are over and here I am at the new year! Time flies. And like they say, the older you get the faster it goes! And how true. So, if time does fly by the best I can do is make the most of our time.
With the New Year I plan to have a New Outlook. Most of what I have seen lately has been from a positive attitude aspect. I vow to continue with such an attitude! It seems to me the only way to go.
A New Year and New Outlook is not a new concept, but a great way to start the year. An attitude of gratitude, be thankful for what you have and being positive is a great way to live.
One of the many reason I love visiting our home on the lake is we do not have cable TV!! Pretty primative! But one of the many great things about this is we don't spend a great deal of our time in front of the TV and all the negative news. I absolutely do not miss it! After returning from the lake this past week the fact that the negative press was missing from my life and the positive impact it had really came to my attention. Thus another reason for emphasizing the positive in life and focusing on a new way of thinking and approaching life.
Happy New Year. When we are given something new, we are given something with a lot of potential. It is up to us how we use that something new. Take the new year and make it the best. Have a great day.

Two Resolutions for the New Year!
The only two resolutions I plan to make for the new year are to live healthier and spend more time with friends.
As we age, it is more and more important that we live healthier. With rising cost on health care, etc, it is even more important to live healthier. I don’t know about you, but I would much rather spend my money on entertainment or new clothes than on expensive prescriptions and other medical needs. I get really frustrated with some of my friends and family that do the opposite. In fact, check out your insurance or company policy on preventive health. My health insurance is offering a health assessment tool that awards you a gift card for completing the assessment! Wow, making money and staying healthy, now that is a thought. If your employer or insurance company does not offer any help or initiatives, check out sites like RealAge. Found others? Share with the Bikinis and Bifocals Community.
Spending more time with friends is also very important for our health. At least I think so. I plan to make more time for my friends and less time for cleaning the house! We started the year off yesterday right – friends over for lunch and family over for dinner. Not that I will do that on a regular basis, but it is so great to see friends over the holidays, why not make an effort to do more throughout the year. I think it is sad at the end of visits we say, we need to get together more, and then the year slips away. Perhaps I will just send out random invites to groups of women for lunch, dinner or other random activity throughout the month. Not only is it better for your health to have others to connect with, it is a great source of information! I get the best advice from my girlfriends.
Here’s to a happy and healthier year!

2008 was great, what is your plan for 2009!
I don’t know about you, but as far as I am concerned 2008 was great. I do not waste my time crying over spilt milk in regards to what went wrong in my life, or as far as that goes in 2008, but I like to rejoice everyday about the things that went right and the possibilities of tomorrow. I am watching less and less TV news and listening to the radio news because all they want to talk about is the negative, what went wrong etc.
This is the holiday season, and since it should be a good time of the year, spend time this new years living in the good memories of the year. Don’t get me wrong, my life is not all perfect. I have as many challenges and setbacks as everyone on the street, I just choose to not let it determine my outlook and disposition on life.
As I have said over and over to many I encounter – you have two choices everyday – be positive or negative, which do you choose?
As far as 2009 is concerned, I am so excited. A new year with new possibilities. What could be greater? I view the New Year as a clean slate. A time to sweep out the old and bring in the new – new possibilities of great things to come!!!
I read an interesting article online the other day and have been thinking it about it since. I liked what it was saying about instead of New Year resolutions that focus on something negative, set goals towards something positive. The article said it is always easier to move towards something than away from something! So in other words visualize something positive you want to work towards, not something negative you want to work away from. Example, instead of working to lose weight – move away from being overweight etc, set a goal as to how you want to look, live, feel – in other words move towards something positive. This thought really got me thinking about the New Year and my plan for 2009.
I love the way things come together in my life. A couple years ago I discovered a thing called a Vision Board. That concept focuses around visualizing on what you want in life. In other words moving towards something. This concept as to how to approach the New Year is along that line. So this year I am working on my plan for myself, not just for the year, but a lifestyle that will carry on to my goals. Setting up towards the positive is a better indicator you will succeed. I have done this several times over the past couple years and it works. I will not do this for the New Year as I plan my 2009.
So, what are you plans for 2009? 2009 will be a great year, every year I am alive is as far as I am concerned. This year focus on the positive and see just how big an impact it will have on your life. Remember, some days it may be difficult, but make it part of your plan for 09 to be positive and move towards positive goals.
