21 Days to New Habits....Day 1

I've heard that it takes 21 days to a month to make or break a habit. I started thinking about what habits I'd like to make or break before the new year. Not only that, but I've been thinking about what changes I still need to make for a better life and family. So, I am bringing you along for the ride. Today is Day 1. Let's see who I am by day 21. Perhaps it will be exciting to watch the change and even better, it might encourage you to make some changes of your own.

Day 1- A cleaner house. Not a perfect house, because I'd prefer for people to feel comfortable in my home, but a healthier one. We do not live a "shoes off" life. We live in the mountains and we are bombarded with dust. My goal, to do a light dusting every other day so we can all breathe better. We'll check back with this on day 3. Part of this goal will be to pick up after myself and get my husband and daughter to do the same. That will be the tricky part. Clean as we go. I know, day 1 is kind of boring but my health and that of my family's is important to me. I am not a tidy person by nature. I long for cleanliness, but being a perfectionist, I often don't do things unless I know they can be done perfectly. Maybe that will be a goal that goes along with all of my resolutions, I don't have to be perfect.

I'm off to put Day 1 into action. Don't forget to check back tomorrow for Day 2.
