Happy New Year (four days late!)!

It's the time of year to do that resolution thing.  We've all done it.  Next week is the time when we seem to start letting those resolutions slip away!  I tried to do resolutions quarterly, thinking I could maybe keep them for three months at a time, but that didn't go so well, either.  I have a friend who had decided to do her resolutions on a monthly basis - one a month.  I have decided that this year - 2016 - will simply be the year of MORE and LESS.

No hard and fast YOU MUST DO'S or DON'TS.  Hopefully being a bit vague will help me to live within the parameters I am setting.  The ONE hard and fast rule I am setting for myself is to resurrect this blog.  Hopefully, you will all be reading posts from me weekly, or at the very least, twice a month.  I have two very important events happening this year - my daughter turns 21 in February, and graduates from college in May.  Both will frequently talked about and/or mentioned as they approach.

But I digress.  Back to those more and less New Year's Resolutions (and hoping that putting them in writing and out into the Universe, you will all hold me accountable help me achieve them.)

MORE: treadmill, painting (I'm adding watercolors to my portfolio this year!), writing, being nice (especially when I'd rather not!) to people, being me (not the someone I think people need me to be), focus, appreciating what I have, 'why not's,'  and continued learning (about all things I find that pique my interest).

LESS: watching TV, commenting on my daughter's driving, harping on my husband about how much beer I think he's drinking, negativity, wanting what I do not need, 'what if's,' splurge spending and doubting my abilities.

Easy list, right?   I'll check in regularly to re-read them and see how I am doing.  Let me know if y'all see me slipping!  Go to Facebok, like my Ness Drinks and Eats page, and stay in touch!  I'll see ya'll in a week, or maybe even less!
