How was your holiday? What was your favorite gift? Mine was photos of my son and daughter together... and they weren't even fighting!!!

I went to my mom's and ate so much I was afraid to weigh myself when I returned home! So, BEFORE New Year's I started doing a pitiful amount of exercise. Treadmill 20 minutes - 3x a week. What do you guys do? Must confess I'm still waiting to experience that whole endorphin thing, so I REALLY have to talk myself into exercising and I also have to make sure I don't overdo and hurt myself because then I NEVER want to exercise again. My oldest sister ran the New York City Marathon and my middle sister goes to an exercise trainer twice a week. I would rather recline on the beach....

Do you make New Years resolutions? I try to take stock and adjust goals. One of my goals or allowances this year is to take "Reading" days. My writing schedule is so demanding that I often feel guilty reading instead of writing, but I miss reading, so I thing a "Reading Day" every now and then is a good idea. I've also joined a small online affirmation group for a few published authors where we give reports and encourage each other.

I'm going to try to check in here at least every two weeks if not more frequently. I bought a couple of fun New Year's gifts for another contest coming super soon!!!!
