Happy New Year!!

So I’m a day late with the New Years post.  I’m ok with that!  See, I don’t really make resolutions.  I look back over the previous year and what I accomplished.  I think about what I might like to accomplish this new year.

This year my list is kind of short.

I want to work on my Project 365 all year without flaking.  I’d love for all of you to join us!  The link to the FlickR group is in the Project 365 post linked above.

I want to procrastinate less, but I already started working on that last year.

I’m putting cakes on the very back burner.  I’m not saying I won’t make any at all this year, but it’s not likely unless it’s for someone I love.  Definitely no cakes for pay.  That makes me get out the crazy pants and no one likes that.

I want to read more.  I used to read constantly and now I have a stack of books on my nightstand that have been untouched for months.  Some of them have been there over a year.

I want to study things I’ve been wanting to learn instead of flopping in front of the TV.

I want to continue to choose happiness.

That’s about it.

I’m not going to make goals or blog about going on diets and drinking less and exercising more.  I may or may not do those things, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned about very publicly losing a lot of weight it’s that you feel like a giant fraud when you gain it back.  Not gunna do it again.

I feel pretty good about 2010.  I think that’s because I’m in a much better headspace than I have been the past couple of years.  I learned a lot about myself, and one of those things was that I can do a lot of things emotionally and mentally that I never before thought I could. I’m more comfortable inside my own head, and that feels pretty good.  After that?  It’s all cake.
