Today was a full but enjoyable day filled with presents, Mass, food, and assembling a sauna. Everyone in the family seems to be really happy with their gifts this year, and it was great getting to relax and spend the day together. Fortunately my husband was feeling better today, and was able to enjoy his Christmas as well. He took a steam in his new sauna this evening after I got it all set up for him. It works pretty good!

It is hard to believe that we are now in the last week of the year. I have several shows and grant applications that have deadlines early in January. I need to start getting them ready to go. I also want to work on my list of goals and challenges for the new year. I find that by preparing myself before the start of the year helps me to start strong and keep my momentum going while I establish the new habits.

Do you have a strategy to help you reach your New Year’s resolutions?
