As I gear up for another new year, I have made a list of things that will help me stay happy. Maybe they might help you too.- Be honest. About who you are and what you say. That doesn't mean tell everything to everyone, it means being truthful about anything you tell anyone.
- Never say never. Truly, you really never know.
- No obsessing. Over food or money or guys--or anything else.
- Get rid of all debt (except for the mortgage of course). When you have all you need, stop buying stuff!
- GET OVER IT! Or better yet...work through it. Allow yourself to grieve it--then move on!
- Be forgiving. Yeah...this is a constant one.
- Make other people happy! Remember names, birthdays, send notes. Make people smile.
- Be nice. Don't gossip. And don't listen to gossip.
- Get active! Go for a walk, actually GO to that Yoga class...exercise your heart & soul!
- Change what you don't like. Weight, relationships, things around the house.
- Persevere and be powerful. Work on improving self-worth.
- If the one you love doesn't want it, do yourself a favor and save it for someone who does.
I used to say that I was happy when I was thin. Now I know that I am thin when I am happy...
Life is long...don't spend time being sad, depressed or WAITING to be happy!
Start now...

Words to live by Jules.
We all need to head on over to Lucille's soon, I still owe somebody dinner.
This has to be the best blog you have written THIS ENTIRE YEAR! Everything you said is RIGHT ON THE MONEY! I know I say that after I read lots of your blogs, BUT SERIOUSLY THIS IS THE ONE! Publish THIS! I stand behind EVERYTHING you wrote from your heart and YOU are living proof that ALL these things are possible! You inspire me DAILY!
I love it Julie! I will join you to do the same.
Just to "be happy" was my New Year's resolution last year! It was great and surprizingly made me think about all the things I am thankful for throughout the entire year. Yeah!
