Reflections: Christie’s Resolutions… Wordle style

1. Straighten Desk:  It’s always a mess.  I think I’d be less stressed if I at least attempt to get it manageable before I leave at night.
2. Hug More: I always give my kids at the library hugs when they need it, but with everything going on, it can’t hurt to hug more. We can all use more hugs.
3. Breathe Deeper: Some days, we just need a deep breath. Or 5.
4. Keep Schedule: 2013 is going to be a BUSY BUSY year for me. Not only to I have my job, and Teen Librarian Toolbox, but I am also the incoming chair for the Rainbow Project, and I put my hat in for a YALSA process committee.  And I’ll be presenting at our state library association in April.  So if I start sounding like this commercial Karen or That Guy will take me away for my sanity.
5. Love More: Sounds counter-productive, but we all need more love in our lives.
6. Star Reviews: I have not been starring my reviews for TLT. Evidently I am supposed to be.   I admit, I’ve had bad experiences with various peer review sites that star things so I stay away from that, but, because I ADORE Karen, I will star things starting Wednesday.
7. Declutter House: That Guy is wonderful, but has a pack rat tendency that drives me nuts. My goal for 2013 is to remove things from the house that we haven’t used since we moved in- like pie pans. So, if you win a contest and get pie pans, SURPRISE!
8. Eat Better & Exercise More: This I started on in 2012, but need to really work on in 2013. I am a type 2 diabetic, and found out during surgery in May that the doctor I had been seeing had over-prescribed me on insulin.  The new doctor took me that regimen  put me on one that was more normal, and not only did my blood sugars come to normal, but I lost 40 pounds.  I definitely want to keep the trend going.
9. Read More: There are always so many books that I want to read that I never seem to have time for. I want to try and keep up with what I want to read and what I have to read.  And YES, there is a difference.
