Happy Valentines Day!!
Can you believe the first month of the year is already over?
The new year always is refreshing to me because it’s like a new start. You get to set new goals for the year. Everything you didn’t get done last year, you breathe new life into getting it done this year.
I always feel like the first of the year is for cleaning and organizing. Every year in January I set a goal to get all my cupboards and closets cleaned and organized. This about drives Steve crazy. I walk around the house ranting and raving about how this and that needs to be done. Then it seems we get so busy with work, then before I realize it December comes and I am out of time. I will have to do it the next year. Oh well, why do it today, if you can do it tomorrow, right?
Then there is the ex ercise routine.
Every year I start a new exercise routine and by summer I’m too busy to continue. I have been taking a coaching class and this is one of the best suggestions I have heard when it comes to exercise. If you exercise it changes your day. The brain releases endorphins that will put you in a more positive and up mood. If you are in the business we are in, this is a great help. People can tell even when you’re on the phone what kind of a mood you’re in. Clients are more apt to want to work with someone that is happy and in a good mood. I have a whole new outlook on the exercise thing looking at it this way. It has become part of my work routine instead of just being something I should do for my health. I always feel guilty taking time off work to exercise but if I look at it this way and make it part of work woo! hoo! the guilt is gone.
Last thing that always seems to be on my goal list every year is trying to eat more healthy. Steve and I really took that serious last year. We pretty much cut out all the sugary sweets and starting eating turkey burger and chicken breasts. We tried taking red meat pretty much out of our diet. So when I went in to get my physical this year, I had not lost a pound (Steve lost over 40 pounds) , my cholesterol was so high they wanted to put me on medication. Wow, talk about frustration. Anyway, I’m not letting that get me too down for this year, but I am going to eat red meat this year.
Hope you are all doing well with your New Years goals!

Fun Facts
For Valentines Day, to all you Men out there;
"Men who kiss their wives in the morning live five years longer than those who don't. "
Around the House
I don't know about you, but I get really tired of straightening the rugs around my house. I think I will give this suggestion a try. I'm not sure if this work very well with my two big dogs.
So cool! Slip-proof your rug: To give an area rug some traction, flip it over, and apply lines of acrylic-latex caulk every 6 inches or so. Once dry, you can safely put down your rug; the rubbery strips will hold it in place.
