On My “Not-To-Do” List for 2009

In the “Your Words” section of the January ‘09 Real Simple issue, the question for the month was “What is on your not-to-do list for 2009?” I’ll share more about my New Year goals/resolutions in a later post, but I just love that question!

My answer: Not to “throw my pearls to pigs”. Practically for me that means to not give what is precious/valuable to me (i.e. my time/energy/money/etc.) to those who are unwilling (or unable) to appreciate it. In 2008, I realized that doing so (in various areas of my life - personal/ work/ etc.) really drained me and prevented me from being my best overall.

So…what is on your not-to-do list for 2009?

    I couldn’t agree more with your statement:
    “Not to “throw my pearls to pigs”. Practically for me that means to not give what is precious/valuable to me (i.e. my time/energy/money/etc.) to those who are unwilling (or unable) to appreciate it.

    I will not say YES to everything! It robs me of my joy, finer moments in my life and overall happiness.

    What a great goal. I agree that it’s a good one.
