I've always hated new year's resolutions. I always thought they were about what you don't like about your life or yourself and wanted to change. They were always so depressing and overwhelming. I'm gonna lose weight. I'm gonna get a better job, make more money. Yeah, right. I'm gonna beat myself over my failures was more like it. So I stopped many years ago.
Then along came 2009 and I guess I feel optimistic for the first time in many years. Maybe it was the election. Maybe it's the feeling that people are actually beginning to wake up. Maybe it's just hope. For whatever reason I've made ten resolutions this year. Then things I want to do. Then things to challenge me to be more creative and have a little fun this year.
1. 52 weeks of creativity.
I'm going to do something each week to try to jump start my imagination and creativity. This could be a project or an artist day.
2. Complete the Markeroni challenge. Logging 50 historical markers or monuments.
3. Reconnect with my cousins.
4. Read the Classics. There's a collection of Greek and Roman classics in the library where I work. I play to start reading them.
5. See all of John Wayne's movies.
6. Take at least one art class.
7. Go on a real vacation.
8. Utilize my blog more. Actually keep up with updating my blog and exploring other blogs.
9. Become more active in my community
10. Spend more time with my brothers
Okay, that should give me things to do and think about for a bit.

Well, you know I'd be glad to see where you get to this year in the Challenge. :)
Happy new year! :)
LOL. I can do it!! I feel like a bit of a slacker because I have to wait until payday on Friday to sign up. Of course it's 32 degrees here today so BRRRRRRRR....I could blame the delay on the cold. yeah, I didn't think that would work.
