This will be my first post of the new year. I've started about 5 ...but never finished. They somehow didn't seem important enough to start off the new year. Most of my favorite bloggers had some end of the year/start off the new year idea for great posts. But me? Nothing ... and then more nothing. I was able to make some decorating changes to my blog ... I guess that's something. Then, whilst in the midst of that, I decided to clean house and kick some bloggers to the curb ... and an idea for a goal this year was born. (One year my goal was to have kids ... look how that worked out).
Purge ....
I have resolved this year to be happy. I have noticed that I have a sour attitude lately and I don't care for it. So, this year, I'm back to my happy self. I'm purging "negative" from my life where ever possible and I'm starting with the blogs I read.
Every day I have to make a decision about how I'm going to spend my 30 minutes of "me" time. I can read blogs and comment or I can blog myself. One morning, a blogger asked a question "How many blogs do you have on your reading list?" I don't have many ... at least not compared to most of the other blogs I read ... and some of those, I noticed, I'm not really enjoying ... I'm going to their site mostly out of habit ... So I purged them.
My 2010 theme ... This will be my year to purge and be selective ... this will be my year to start back to things that make me happy ... to streamline my life in many ways ... I'm starting with my blog and moving to my house ... watch out kids ... all your stuff is next. Maybe my husband should be next ... he is a keeper of crap (I would say he's "a saver" or "a collector of items" but he is not selective ... he keeps everything.)
Any whooo ... the bloggers on my reading list now are people I really enjoy reading everyday ... they are bloggers I wish would blog more than they do. They make me laugh and think ... and they help me to be better in some way ... even if it's just to start my day with a more happy attitude.
Watch out family ...the purge is ON ... you may be next

Ooh, this is a good idea! I love purging stuff when my brain (or house) begins to feel too cluttered. Good luck with everything!
I've been purging around my home as well and there's still crap everywhere!! Oh well, all in good time, I suppose. I never realized how badly we hoard things...my new attitude is "if we haven't used it in 6 months, it's gone". My husband doesn't exactly agree with that but I doubt he's gonna notice the stuff that's missing.
I'm honored to see my blog on your reading list!! After reading that part of your post, I immediately glanced to your sidebar and it made me smile to be included on that list! Thank you!! I enjoy your blog too! In fact, I'd like to add you to my blogroll..just let me know if you have a problem with that!
