I know, I know… This ain’t the “Photography at the Right Angle” caption contest we’re supposed to have for the next 20+ Mondays (LOL!), but I thought this was important enough to try and get out in the beginning of the year. Yeah, yeah, it’s already the 11th day into the new year… So sorry yeah!? Bettah late than nevah right? 8) Anyway, go checkum go, and I’ll meetcha at the bottom.

Here’s mine:
* Which is your favorite one?
I have a few: Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip (#12), Dream more while you are awake (#13), and What other people think of you is none of your business (#26). I think gossip is such a waste of energy. Dream while you are awake is a good one! And for #26, just be yourself. Who cares what other people think.
* Which is one you’d like to work on the most this year?
“Eat breakfast like a king/queen, lunch like a prince/princess & dinner like a beggar” (#2). I always tell myself to eat breakfast (cause I always hear that it’s the most important meal of the day), but never seem to be able to stick to it. I do want to eat a smaller dinner too. The “Read more books than you did in 2009 (#6)” one is pretty funny too cause that would be duck soup for me. I just have to read one! 😉
* Did you make any resolutions of your own this year? Share, share!
I’m getting a little soft in certain areas, so I wanna start getting back into shape. Joined a “body fat” losing competition with my friends, so it’s soooo on! I want my “Team Jacob” abs back! 8)
Have a great week y’all!
