If one really thinks about it...which most of us don't...we only have a mere +/-80 years on this earth, which isn't long at all, its only 80 Christmases, 80 birthdays, etc.... so on my lists of 11 things to eliminate stress is the number one thing that robs myself of time, time that could be spent with love ones enjoying life, instead of in a corner fretting about life and situations that I cannot control. #2 anger is also a big "life sucker", robbing me of time and energy, that ultimately leaves me depleted and alone.  #3 Weight...well what can I say 11 pounds could be the whole reverb list!!! #4 It is time to downsize.... we all accumulate a lot of crap over the years...so I think that "less is more" is the phase for the New Year!  #5 and #6 getting rid of cable and home phone will lower the bills a bit and make it possible to sit in the living room with out being hypnotized but the "boob tube", maybe the family and I could actually have enlightening conversations! #7  Credit cards can come in handy..but for the most part they enable me to buy whatever I want when I want...instant gratification....which is overrated!!! its time to rein in the cards and keep it simple, which could fall over into the rest of my life and allow me to concentrate on family memories instead of buying happiness.  #8 Cooking at home has to be a priority in 2011, It is convenient to eat out in this fast paced life...but the crap that goes into to the fast food  is bad for the body...teaching the kids to eat healthy will give them a good start to living a healthy life.   


Well for 9,10, and 11 I am not sure at this point...but hopefully making the changes 1-8 will spill over in abundance in my life and the life of my family and allow me to see a 9,10, and 11 that could be eliminated as well.
