Mysteries, by Erika Chase
It’s not
too late for New Year’s resolutions, is it? Because I want to get in on them
but more importantly, I’d like to take a page out of my good friend Jordan
Bingham's book or blog as it were. I'm sure y'all know that she's from the Book Collector Series by Victoria Abbott. So, I'd like “prescribe”
some resolutions for my friends. Sorry for copying, Jordon but thanks for the
idea!
Actually, I’ve varied that a bit by asking others to do the prescribing.
For Molly
Mathews, Bob Miller says: I resolve to
slow down and smell the roses, not that I don’t enjoy them right now. But I
seem to get involved in so many projects that often there’s no time left for
me.
For
Sally-Jo Baker, Jacob Smith says: I resolve to find some good ways to de-stress
and practice them every day.
For
Stephanie Lowe, Andie Mason says: I resolve to let Andie babysit Wendy more
often. I know she’s good with the baby and loves doing it. So, I’ll make sure that happens.
For Mark
Dreyfus, I say: I resolve to spend more time with Lizzie Turner. She is the
love of my life, after all, and I do spend too many hours working. I have to
learn to delegate and kick back more.
That worked
out rather well. There seems to be a theme going here though.
Do you find
it could apply to you? Slow down, take
more time for yourself, stress-less, and enjoy life? If so, what
was your main New Year’s resolution?

I usually don't make New Year's resolutions, knowing that I'll only keep them for a couple weeks. Happy New Year to Every one!
ReplyDeleteI usually don't either, Dianne so thought this would be fun. Happy New Year to you, too!
DeleteI don't make resolutions.
ReplyDeleteI used to but gave it up after may failed attempts. :)
DeleteYou said, "Slow down, take more time for yourself, stress-less, and enjoy life?" I didn't make New Year's resolutions, but after reading that, I'm reconsidering. Thanks, Lizzie!
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear that, Willow. I think you really should give it a try!
DeleteI don't really do New Year's resolutions. Too many things change in a year. We should be thinking about changes every day, not just once a year. Stress-less is good for everyday!
ReplyDeleteGood advice, Elaine. Thanks for sharing.
DeleteNancy R - I like the slow down, less stress resolution too, but to make that happen, I must resolve to procrastinate less and get at tasks I tend to postpone.
ReplyDeleteEspecially if procrastinating makes you more stressed!
DeleteTo get back to the gym. I joined a fitness club.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Annette. Hope you stick with it. I think I should try the same thing.
DeleteI love the cover for your new book!!! Can't wait to read it!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! We all love it, too. Can't wait to get it out there. Stay tuned...only 8 more months!
