Indulge: 2010

It’s THAT time of year again! The time of year when people plan, set goals and make resolutions. It’s the dreaded R-word and yet, I find myself in a contemplative mood. What do I want to accomplish in 2010? How do I want to start the next decade?

Step One – to stop referring to New Year resolutions as resolutions. I’m now referring to them as indulgences. One can indulge in incredibly great things; therefore I will be indulging in the following during 2010…

Indulge: Gym – last year I vowed to go to the gym regularly and I met that goal. I want to keep that up in 2010! I want to feel lean and healthy. This isn’t about being skinny – it’s about being true to my body and its capabilities.

Indulge: Vintage – I love all things antique and vintage. It’s no secret! I want to indulge in all things vintage this year. It’s good for the environment, it’s great character for my wardrobe and my home and it’s just plain fun!

Indulge: Love – Seriously, who doesn’t want to feel love – to give and receive love! Count me in a million times over! ‘Nuff said!

Indulge: Capture – This one is a bit more ubiquitous, I suppose. I want to capture life by the tail, or really by the digital frame! I will take more photos of the small things, the big things and most of all, the in-between things.

Indulge: Authenticity – this is my most important indulgence – Authenticity. I want it! I truly, madly, deeply desire to be genuine and real in every arena I participate in. I will be honest with myself and with others. I will reflect authenticity!

So – that’s it – the five indulgences of 2010 - the indulgences that will make 2010 worth every waking (and sleeping!) moment.

Make no mistake - I will still be eating the occasional meal of McD’s Chicken Nuggets with Hot Mustard sauce, just one last indulgence!
