Great words of advice. I've rejected resolutions a long time ago as well, though admittedly not as cerebral behind the reasoning. I knew they didn't work but never thought of them as paths for failure.

I had started smoking after quitting for 20 years. I realized my addiction (this time around) came from stress with dealing with my adult Aspie child and from boredom and lack of inspiration. Once I started "art-ing" and going outside to have distance from my son (without being totally distant), I was able to quit. I still crave a smoke now and again, but my mindset is right about it.

What is my theme for 2017? Hm... This is a tough question because I certainly have goals. Save $. Buy land. Literally build our home. How do we accomplish this? I need to have a steady income. That means pursuing work outside of the home because freelancing hasn't been consistent enough. That kind of sucks but if I want what I want, I have to do what I must do.

Happy New Year! I just followed you on Twitter
