Monday Morning Coffee Talk

 


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!

Billie Jo

  8. Really 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 -

  10. I love your new header!
    I'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!

  15. Happy 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.

  18. I 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.
