Resolve

So, I've been thinking about New Year's Resolutions lately. I don't know if you know, but I'm a big believer in a good, solid NYR. I feel like people definitely shouldn't make them if they aren't ready to commit to it and I definitely think that a half-kept NYR is still a kept one.

If one resolves to exercise more and can get themselves to do it for 6 months, then that's 6 months improvement, and that much closer to having a better life or being a better person or being closer to happiness. I don't think a person should be completely unrealistic and expect to do something EVERY day for the rest of their lives.


Either way, it's hard for me to really get down to what it is I really want to do this year. My life is in such flux right now. Everything is changing, everything is sort of up in the air. How do you decide what needs to be changed when things are already changing? Maybe my resolution will be to keep changing.

For the most part, here it is:

• Continue changes for a happier, better life. (pretty standard)
• Finish crocheting my scarf.
• Become a more diligent, organized worker.
• Actually start planning our wedding (eventually).

But more importantly, year goals:

• Have a new, better job that I either enjoy more, or get paid more for. Preferably both.
• Be completely ready and applied to schools.

I'm a pretty simple person. I don't need anything completely unusual to be happy. I have Adam, I have Penelope, I have a multitude of family and friends. All I really need is a steady goal and a stable way to get there.

Here's to hoping that 2011 is exponentially better than 2010.
