Retired in Ann Arbor: It's almost the time--

---that many of us decide to turn over a new leaf.

Here's a quote to get you in the mood:

"Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgement repeated every day.  It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgements that leads us to either fortune or failure."  --Jim Rohn

I saw this in the spring 2011 Michigan Engineer magazine-- and was struck by how this could be applied to everything from weight loss to money management.

It makes me feel optimistic to think that every morning I start with a clean slate.

Now that the Christmas shopping season is over, it's time to return to the fun, cool and inexpensive (or free) things to do in and around Ann Arbor-- and tips for living a healthy and sustainable life in Ann Arbor.

See you in 2012!
