It's 2016 ~ I resolve...

As I sit here trying to come up with creative New Year's Resolutions for 2016, the same ones keep coming to the surface.
They run along the lines of:

1) Exercise more
2) Eat healthier 
3) Lose weight 
4) Get organized
5) De-clutter, not only my closets, but my mind!
6) Save for a rainy day 

But those annual goals can be filled with pressure.

I'll just wish my readers a Happy and Healthy New Year and skip the same old resolutions! 
Who's with me?
