Next year, I want to be a better blogger. I've written exactly one post that I'm kinda proud of. And even then, only kinda.. well, maybe I am. I dunno.
Anyway, back to the important stuff. Next year I want to be a better blogger, get a handle on my finances, lose 50lb and actually keep it off for years, find and sustain a meaningful romantic relationship, finish my wine cabinet, and remove 1/2 of the (my) boxes from my basement. I think those goals are just enough to be a challenge, but not so lofty that I can't achieve at least 80% of them.
I don't really believe in resolutions. I think resolutions were made to be broken. They give people something to talk about at end of year parties and the first week or so after returning to the office from a long holiday break. People's eyes get all shiny and sparkly when they talk about all the good they'll do in the new year. I think this is a lovely, wonderful thing except: if you fail or don't quite meet expectations, you tend to throw in the towel and just give up all together. I am not a quitter, and I hate that attitude. If you get knocked down, it's ok to cry a little, maybe sit on the ground feel sorry for yourself for a moment or two, but for heavens' sakes, GET UP AGAIN. So, I have goals, not resolutions. And I make goals ALL THE TIME, not just on the first of the year. It just so happens, though, that it's December 26. I'm not going to complete ANY of the above goals in the next 5 days. So, logically, I plan to achieve those goals next year.
What are your goals for the coming year?
