Every year everyone always makes “To Do” lists either before the holidays or after and somewhere on the list is usually lose weight, (which never happens), payoff credit cards, (also which never happens) and get in shape, (but which shape is not clearly defined). Well this year I’m going for a different approach. I’m making a “To Don’t” List. Because as a kid growing up, the thought of punishment for the crime bothered me more than the reward system. We’ll just have to see if this works out better for me.
My “To Don’t” List includes the following”
Don’t dwell on what I can’t change
Don’t worry so much about the future, it will take care of itself
Don’t put off telling Mitch, the rest of my family and friends how much I love them and need them in my life
Don’t forget to play everyday
Don’t forget to laugh out loud everyday
Don’t let the negative people in my life infect me
Don’t be afraid to walk up to a total stranger and start up a conversation (you never know what you’ll learn)
Don’t ever walk around with a frown it makes me look old
Don’t refuse to try new wines, food or adventures
Don’t stop plotting something evil every day, (because evil is almost always more fun)
And most importantly,
Don’t look back on my life and ever say I wish that I had done that.
This is what I’m going to try and accomplish from this day forward. I’ll let you know how it works.

I think this is a great idea > To Don’t List.
But I fear my list might be pretty lengthy….
