Resolutions

I am not one of those people who thinks that the new year is a silly time to start trying to improve oneself. I think it is a perfectly respectable time. Especially since waiting until the new year to try and implement self betterment projects generally means that I can eat what I want during the holidays. Generally, this works out pretty well for me. I gain a pound or two during Christmas, and then, after the sight of chocolate makes me grimace, I quit eating it for a while, and the pounds come off again! Of course, attaining goal weight is not the only, or the most important goal of the year. I also have found a way to have Sundays off so that I can attend and enjoy church again, I plan to spend time USING the cool craft stuff I have, I want to write letters to people I care about on a regular basis (the REAL kind), I plan to make the most of the time while I am not teaching to create cool lesson plans in my spare time, I plan to read, read READ!, I plan to calendar in birding time, and I plan to continue to make family a priority. Basically, this should all easily be accomplished by having a real day off each week. After having worked at least one of the two jobs I have every day of the week (and both half the week) for the last year, I finally have a day off. Ahhhhhh.... the possibilities are endless.

I also want to keep up my journal (um, I mean blog) more regularly. So...I will catch up the fun things I did last year periodically, but I decided that if I keep waiting until I can catch up, I will never post again.

For anyone who still visits my blog, I wish you a very happy, peaceful, and prosperous 2011.
