My Plans for 2009, more or less

I *LOVE* a new start.  I love the first day of a new week, month, or season.  I even love that days end and begin anew in the morning.  And I LOVE a new year!

I've been writing the year as "2009" for the past five months or so, so I'm figuring that on some very deep level I'm anticipating this to be a big and very good year, that my subconscience has been so looking forward to 2009 that it's excitement has trickled into my conscience mind and confused me as to the actual date.  It's here now though, 2009, and I'm expecting a really great year.

I've made a bunch of resolutions.  I can't help it.  Planning things is what I do.  Some things come with very specific goals and timelines, some things are just guidelines to keep in mind and work toward.  I'm keeping the details to myself, but the gist of my plans for the year are:

• less tv, more music
• less sitting on my ass, more movement (including and especially dancing)
• less sugar, wheat, meat and dairy, more vegetables
• less passive entertainment, more creative productivity and personal studies
• less spending, more investing (this applies to time and other resources as well as finances)
  

I still need to write out some detailed plans to help guide me to where I want to be this time next year, but I have until Monday to do that.  Today may be the first day of 2009, but I still prefer Mondays for official beginnings.

Happy New Year!  I hope 2009 holds lots of happy surprises for everyone!
