Happy New Year

I hope your new year has started off on a great note! Mine has! I've always been told not to wash clothes on New Year's Day because that is what you will do for the rest of the year, but this year I showed houses on New Year's Day and I hope and pray I will be doing that all year long! Of course, if you saw my laundry pile you would probably think I needed to wash clothes all year!lol

Did you make any resolutions this year? I chose not to this year. I had such a banner year in 2008 by turning 40 that I decided I needed to make lifestyle changes that last forever. I got an early start in August. I bet you are wondering if I'm actually doing anything any different and the answer is YES!!! Some may seem small to you, but to me they are HUGE! One is not to eat out everyday for some meal. I can just hear the moans, but you have to understand I love to eat out. I've limited our family to 1 time a week and that's usually after church on Sunday night. I tell you I'm so proud of the gift cards for Christmas to eating places and can't wait to go. Another lifestyle change is organizing my work day, so no time is wasted. This is a challenge! Since I have a flexible schedule for the most part it's hard to plan for everything! I hope to see the fruit of this change in later months.

My goal for 2009 on Dothan Dots of Info is to blog at least 3 times a week. It may be short and sweet, but it will be informative. Please share this blog with all your friends.

I look forward to a wonderful year in 2009!
