"New Year, New Rule"

Picture borrowed from web

When I was growing up, mummy would always, and I mean always, without a fail start the New Year by saying "New Year, New Rule" about a kerzillion times.... any time someone would do something not to her liking she would tell us off and LOUDLY cry the phrase. I mean for about 10 days after the New Year started.

It used to drive me crazy..... then when I left home it became a joke. I even laugh about it with hubby.
It's one of those funny family sayings that becomes legendary.

I have actually secretly adopted it to look forward to the New Year and set goals, plans and challenges to achieve throughout the year.
This year is no different and I am determined to make this year a great year for achieving.

I will put some goals in black and white so I can look back and evaluate my progress.
For easy reading I will put them into catergories.
