Just one day left in 2009. Time to ponder the good, the bad and the ugly of the past 12 months. Time to list the 'you-go-girls' and the 'what-was-I-thinkings'. Some years I can jot these on a post-it; other years it takes a legal pad. Currently, I'm somewhere in between.
First I review my journal to see what I was crowing or moaning about this time last year. If I'm still moaning about the same thing -- put a check in the ugly column. Since the crowing is sparse and usually subsides long before the moaning, here's resolution Number One: more crowing. Sounds easy but....
My strict Catholic Midwestern family were the anti-crowers. Bragging about your "A" in math or your lead in the class play was verboten. Boasting showed a lack of humility and humility gave you backbone.
It's no wonder my 'you-go-girl' list is so short every year. So here's resolution Number Two: sign up for Crowing 101.
