Jill blogged about wanting, doing, and creating more in 2017 . Susan had a similar idea but different take, focusing on less – less and fewer negatives for 2017.
I love both ways of looking at self improvement and will be using both, starting today. More writing. More dance, karate, weapons training, and time in the gym. More focus on family, friends, and love. Less focus on negativity. Fewer reasons to say “NO”, and more listening, learning, and trying to find ways to make good things happen.
Adding one good thing a day – like broccoli to lunch, or an extra ten minutes of stretching isn’t monumental or hard. Consistently over time it will make life better.
Here’s to better – Happy 2017.

I’ll eat the broccoli if there’s cheese sauce on it. (Maybe a few bacon bits?)

Oooohhhhh, I love broccoli with sharp cheddar cream sauce. Not good for me but wonderful just the same!

Pushed the wrong button and ended up liking my own reply…jeeze—it wasn’t that good. I meant to add that I can’t to do the bacon, but I’m with on the cheese, Susan. 🙂

The Yin-Yang of it all….you got that right, Gina. Balance is good. Stretching, though, that’s vital. At least it is for me.

It’s all good. Whether we decide to do more or less, we’re moving forward. Love broccoli, cheese or no cheese. As for the stretches? I’m with you!

Grin. It is all good. What’s amazing to me is the fact that it only takes a little a day to create a big difference over the course of the year. It all adds up.

Put some tunes on and turn them up high, now vacuum while dancing to the beat! A little exercise and a happy mind while doing mundane chores.

Wonderful, E.. Housework is a great way to stretch. Might even spruce up the place along the way. Not to mention hanging laundry high after bending to extricated it from the dryer. It’s all good. 🙂

Dancing to the beat of the vacuum sounds like a plan.

I’d do the Beach Boys and my girls would do something like Metallica. But I have to admit their choice was not mine, but just was effective. At least they were vacuuming and not whining!
