A New Year. A New Attitude!

I am not much of a planner. In fact, I am not organized at all. I certainly am not a "Type A" person in any form. In fact, I am not a "Type B" person either. I like to think of myself as a "Type D" person. (There is no such thing, I know. I'm making this up.) I'm pretty sure my friends are saying," I can't believe it, you always seem so put together and you seem so tidy." Tidy, yes. Put together, NO.

 * A side note: my mother was very organized and VERY tidy. Nothing was ever out of place in our home. There is a tiny bit of me like that (not the organized part, just the tidy part). It drives me nuts that nothing ever seems to be in it's "place".

 Organized, I am not. A planner, I am not.My husband is not much of a planner either,which is good. We have been known to make many last minute vacation plans and they always turn out great. So, why every single "New" year do I make a resolution to be more organized? I have these grand plans of organizing all of Colin's medical papers in a binder so I can take it with me to every appointment. That way I won't have to wrack my brain when they ask me questions about a particular doctor's visit or what meds he is currently taking. It makes sense, right? Yet, I never do it. And, so far, I have been ok without it. I have numerous sewing and knitting projects that are in the works and I am stressing myself out because they are not complete. I was asking my husband the other day, "What are we doing for our summer vacation ?" Why am I even thinking about this? I know we won't decide what to do until June. It always turns out fine, so why stress? But, every year I make this resolution and every year I stress myself out over it. This year, I am not. I am not going to worry about the state of my house. I am not going to worry about our vacation. I am not going to worry about those sewing/knitting projects. They will get done when they get done! I am not going to make a binder because if I haven't done it by now, I never will so I am taking that off of my list. I am going to live day to day, like I always have and not be stressed about it! I am not going to think about what I have to do tomorrow, I will worry about that tomorrow. I will only think about today and what needs to be done. I will still make my daily list of "To Do's" but I will not stress myself out if they don't get done. I will live in the moment more and not worry about the future. If Colin has taught me anything, it is this.
