My New Year’s resolutions

I have selected a number of resolutions In keeping with my past bucket list resolution to accomplish a number of things on my list each year. This way I will have achieved much of my list by the age most people get around to creating a list. Last year I knocked off the 365 Day Photo Project, which was no easy task. In addition, I also learned to knit and made coffee mug cozies for a number of my friends and I went to a major professional sports with the Indy 500. I have a good start on the list! Many items to go…

I figure this year I will make a gingerbread house, take a cooking class, and grow my own vegetables. These activities are in addition to a trip I plan to take to an undetermined destination. I may decide to see the redwoods in California or Oregon or travel to Atlantic City for some gambling. I’ll leave some wiggle room!

I have been accused of being an over-achiever, so I’ll add a few more resolutions. I plan to write in an inspiration journal daily. I resolve to finish reading the first Harry Potter book in french, which is something I started long ago and I now figure I have time to work on it again. Finally, most important to all of my readers, I will return to blogging regularly. I will not be writing as frequently as before, but after transitioning into a new job and spending months enjoying the payoff from all of my hard work, patience, and faith I now find myself looking for new projects to consume my time.
