Happy 2010!

I was inspired to make a list of New Years Resolutions for twenty-ten. I saw this elsewhere, where they broke down the resolutions into categories of family/friends and wellness. I would like to do that and throw in an extra section for creativity/education, which overlaps a little with wellness but it’s just so important lets give it its own pedestal to stand on.

Family and friends:
Call my mom more often; we don’t have much to say but I think she’s happy when I simply call and let her know I’m still alive.
Pick up the phone when friends call; I need to stop avoiding people and acting as if I owe them money.
Send birthday sentiments to dear friends, rather than lazily resorting to texts and fb wall posts.

Wellness:
Moisturize my reptile skin daily and stay well-hydrated
Practice more yoga (1-2x’s per week)
Blog frequently (so far so good)
Keep a tidy home and thereby, keep a tidy appearance

Creativity/education:
Cook and bake 2x’s a week. Making ramen will not count. Adding an egg to the ramen also will not count. I am saying this with gritted teeth.
Read 3 books a month, currently cracked open ‘The Velveteen Principles”
Sew 1 project a week
Finish my painting (eventually)

My motto for the year: Fear less - Do more
