I awoke this am with the determination that I was going to follow my New Years day Traditions.  First the parade then a dinner of sauerkraut and mashed potatoes.  Then I realized the King of the Remote was in charge of the
Tv.  I don't know if you women out there know how hard it is to get a remote off a man but it is not easy.  I told him I wanted to watch the parade and I would allow him to hold the remote as long as he would put the parade on cause it was my tradition to watch the parade with my family. Mom mom did it with me, I did it with my daughters and was determined to do it with my grand daughter.

We were at a stalemate til I told him the Queen of the kitchen would not get the dinner done if he did not turn on the parade.  I watched the parade. *s*  Then relinquished the remote to the king so he could watch his games.

I read a blog where a blogger said she was setting goals and not making resolutions this year.  She did it last year and reached most of her goals.  That sounds like a good plan to me.

My goal is to lose more weight.  This holiday season has not been kind to me but I am getting back on track again and losing some more, I hope.  I will keep setting that goal until I get it right.

My other goal is to get closer to God and try to show more compassion and understanding to those who are different then me.  Race, religion, or sexual orientation is something is something I aim to be more tolerant of.  Love all people, even those who are different.  Respect them.
