What I Plan to Leave Behind in 2008

Now that it's the last day of 2008, I have decided that there are a few things that I should put to rest and leave behind with the year 2008. Bad habits, things I no longer need, maybe even a few unfinished resolutions that didn't work out for 2008.

Anyway, my number one leave behind bad habit is Procrastination. I figure it hindered my productivity in 2008 and it's time to put procrastination to rest. No putting off this task...

I also plan to leave behind the estimated 365 second cups of coffee at Tim Hortons that I got everyday in 2008. That will equate to $598.60 (seriously). I bought coffee at the store yesterday to prepare.

Those are my big two leave behind in 2008's. What are yours?

This is a good question and may require some thoughts.

I would like to leave behind my habit of assuming the worst, but I don't know quite how to do that.

I'll leave behind half of the dr. pepper I drank in 2008.

I'll leave behind my impatient attitude.

Dr. Pepper and Tim Hortons are not going to be happy with our decisions, Amanda : )

I like your approach. Instead of the burden of new things to take on, we can think of that tired old stuff we don't want in our lives anymore. I am a procrastinator as well, and I would love to leave that behind, especially when it comes to the dishes (my worst task). I'd like to leave behind my tired old excuses for not exercising when it's cold out. And I'd like to leave behind another year with no vacation/travel.

Instead I embrace a year of clean sinks free of dirty dishes, feeling fit, and planning a vacation. Sounds pretty good!

What a great idea! I'd like to leave behind all the evil that comes anywhere near me and fill that space with more kind people and thoughts!

I hope the New Year brings you good health, much happiness and many blessings.

I will leave behind eating takeout and eating out most of the week. It's not good for my waistline nor the bank account. I love to cook and hubby will do the dishes so why do we eat out so much?
