Good Monday morning, my friends! And welcome to a brand new year! I hope your Christmas and New Year celebrations were cozy, happy, and healthy. As we head into a brand new year, fresh and open to all possibilities, many people make New Year's Resolutions. I have made such resolutions in the past years; in other years, I have not. This year, I am resolving NOT to resolve.
I resolve to not set unrealistic expectations for myself.
I resolve to not compare myself of today with me of the past.
I resolve to not forget that caring for myself is neither selfish nor lazy.
I hope you find peace, happiness, health, and contentment in this new year, my friends. And cozy. Always cozy. Have a lovely day. Thank you for visiting!

I love your - non - resolutions, sounds like a great way to start the new year! I love your header, so darling!! Hugs
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! And oh how I love this! Especially comparing your today self with the self of the past. Such a good thing!
ReplyDeleteI love these non-resolutions and say Amen to all of them. You always inspire me to be a little kinder to myself. Best wishes for you and yours to have a Happy 2023!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to 2023 - I'll be reading your wisdom and inspiration in this new year! Hope you're welcoming Monday in a relaxed and yes, always cozy way.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Love the new background. Great thoughts with the non-resolutions. I'm needing to apply that last one. Hope you have a wonderful first week of this new year.
ReplyDeleteOHHHHHHHHH What a delightful new look here, smiles. Wishing you a beautiful New Year, smiles.
ReplyDeleteLove your non-resolutions and your new look. Thank you for being such a cozy place on the web
ReplyDeleteReally like your resolutions....especially the reminder to stop comparing myself. Even to me! Good grief. I love your photo here. We just bought some bird seed today. The feeder has been empty for too long and I'm looking forward to the birds returning. Happy Monday to you -
ReplyDeleteI am with you on resolving not to resolve! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI love your new header!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to eat healthy, but I was doing that before the New Year. I'm also doing some clean out and minimizing at my house, but that's not really a resolution.
Happy New Year!
I love your new header! It's lovely and perfect for this time of year. Happy New Year to you. Thank you for being here. Your blog is always such cozy place to visit.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I love your resolutions. Xx
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Blessings to you this year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! And yes to NO resolutions! Your blog design looks so wintery and cozy! I love it! Here's to a great year full of love and blessings :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Resolutions set us up for failure, thus I stopped doing them years ago. I simply set some basic goals, and find a word or theme to follow for the year. This year is grateful.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Billie Jo! Wishing you a blessed 2023.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I love your resolutions!
ReplyDeleteI love the view out your window with those sweet birds and birdhouse. I don't make New Year resolutions, and just try to be the best me I can be. Your "resolve" quotes are simply wonderful.
