POST-HOLIDAY MIDLIFE FRIENDSHIP STATUS

Are you still singing, chanting, humming and whistling 'out with the old ... in with the new?'
Or
Has it become a soft whisper?
Or
Has it gone completely silent and is it already forgotten?

Do you really want to forget to declutter? No!
Will there ever be a good time to make room for what you want? Yes - Now!

For those who are following through with the decluttering process - Good move!
You are on the right track. Keep going.

For those who have not gotten started yet - C'mon - give it a try!
You just need a bit more motivation and a change in perspective.
Experiment - begin with the idea of making a commitment to yourself.
During menopausal mayhem and aging angst, isn't it about time the commitment
is a version of:  to do what is BEST for me?
Compose your commitment statement using whatever words are most meaningful for you.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
As we revert back to the hustle and bustle of our post-holiday busy lives, it is

quite common to forget our New Year's resolutions. It takes a renewed effort.
Making a commitment is a good way to re-energize.

UNHOMEWORK
* Make a commitment to yourself.
* For those of you who have completed a 'decluttering' list, and answered the
follow-up questions, take a break and prepare for more to come.
*For those who did not, but want to get back on track - Great idea!
Begin by writing a list of friends who 'clutter' your life. More details
in 'New Year's Resolution' post (1/4/12).
