New Year

I know a lot of people make resolutions at New Year's, but I usually don't. I come up with goals for myself all year long, and there's no giant change occurring between December 31st of one year and January 1st of the next, so why make a list now? However, this year I decided there are enough changes I would like to make at this moment that I really should list them. These are not all serious enough that I am "resolving" to accomplish them all, but like the To Do lists I frequently make, this list is intended as a reminder and will be subject to reevaluation throughout the year.

To Do 2009
Every day I want to...

• smile
• tell each member of my immediate family "I love you"
• write something, anything (not just here)
• take a picture (for my new Project365)
• thank God
• read a little bit (or more than a little :)

Every week I want to...

• do something fun with Hannah
• spend some time alone with Aaron
• post something for Poetry Friday
• post something on this blog
• work on a creative project (books, sewing, something!)
• go to the gym

Sometime this year I want to...

• go somewhere pretty & have a picnic
• actually put photos in Sam's baby book
• have enough handmade books to start an Etsy shop

This year I don't want to...

• argue with Hannah as much
• get irritated over little things
• stress about things beyond my control

This doesn't actually seem like a lot now that I see it all together. Anyway, wish me luck!
