Listless no more

I've been swapping emails with a new friend and she's inspired me to think about making a list of things I want to achieve in the year ahead. My year of being thirty thirteen. I’m hopeless with lists. I make them all the time but I very rarely complete everything on them. My outlook calendar is constantly flashing up reminders of things I should have done, months ago.

Even when I write a simple shopping list I will take it to the shop with me and occasionally glance at it, but I will still buy 20 things that are not on it, and forget to buy at least ten things that are.

So I am going to write a sensible list below that everyone can see, even those 47 readers who log on here from Belarus each day [Прывiтанне! Маё судна на паветранай падушцы поўна вуграмі]. Who knew I could speak Belarusian? 

If you're curious, I just wrote: “Greetings, my hovercraft is full of eels”.

This list is my WELLNESS list. It’s about keeping sane, happy and healthy:

• Remember to take all tablets EACH morning, including fish oil.
• Follow a skin care regime EVERY night.
• Go for a walk at least three times a week, rain, hail or even cane toads falling from the sky—like in that masterpiece of film making, Magnolia.
• Go on date with HM at least once a month. On Date Night, kid conversation is to be off limits.
• Eat less carbs and more protein. 
• Try to see girlfriends more often.
• Try to get negative thoughts out of head as soon as aware of them.
• Spend less time cleaning and more time playing with kids.
• Put at least 15% of all work contracts into my ING savings maximiser and LEAVE it there.
• Stop whinging. (optional)
• Stop procrastinating with work stuff. Get it over and done with.   

Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
