pity party over... it's time for some resolutions

In 2008 I will...

  • focus. i need to concentrate on being in the moment, whether that moment is at work or with my family. sometimes, too much multitasking can be a bad thing... especially mental multitasking.
  • move. i need to remember that i actually LIKE exercising. i have one body that needs to last me for another 60 years or so, so i need to take care of it.
  • volunteer. this is sort of a family resolution- the details of which still need to be worked out, but chria and i agree that we are extremely fortunate in our lives. although at the moment we don't have a lot of money to spare for those who are less fortunate, we do have time and energy to give.
  • bring my lunch to work at least 3 days a week.
  • continue to update this blog at least once a week.
  • have more informal gatherings (play dates, game nights, etc.) with friends without worrying if the house isn't in order or if the fridge is devoid of everything but yobaby and fish sticks.
  • go an entire year without losing a pair of sunglasses.
  • learn how to knit socks.
  • learn how to crochet so i can make pretty edges on pretty knitted things. like socks.
I'm sure there's more I could work on... but for now this will do. How about you? Any resolutions for '08?

Chria said...

Mine is to write more, either a blog or a journal or letters to the editor, but something!

Yobaby is baby yogurt. :)
