I've noticed that a lot of people talk about, but few actually make New Years Resolutions. I know, I know--why set yourself up for failure? Why commit to something you know you'll give up on quickly after it starts? Well, if you have that attitude, of course you're going to fail. I on the other hand, love making New Years Resolutions. I like the idea of giving myself a goal, and giving myself an entire year to meet the deadline, and to evaluate if I've achieved the goal in some way or another. Very low key though, no pressure. Although I say this, I cannot for the life of me remember what it was I said I'd do in 2012. All I do know is that early 2012, I was in newborn sleep deprivation stage. I probably decided upon something magnificant at 3am. And promptly forgot it 3hrs later.
I do, however, have a few goals for 2013. I will mention them below, and take time periodically to recall them and check my progress.
1. Have at least one date night with Dan each month. We will take turns planning them.
2. Cook new things and eat in as a family more than we eat out.
3. Participate in a 5k and fundraise for MuckfestMS or BikeMS
4. Actively cultivate my spiritual life
I think those are broad and easy enough to achieve in 2013. I am excited to check in and report on these resolutions as the year goes on. It will keep me accountable to record my progress with each of them. Also, I'm sure they will take on different forms and present themselves differently throughout the year, and that seems exciting to report upon as well.
What about you? Do you make any New Years Resolutions?
