My Resolutions

In the past, I have had trouble setting goals for myself. I tended to expect outrageous things from myself, things that I would never expect from another human being. I would either end up shattered by my inability to reach said goals or worn thin attempting (and sometimes succeeding in) achieving them.

This year, I want to break the pattern. I made a few generalized, simple resolutions for myself. Resolutions that I can be excited about. Last January, my one resolution was to lose weight. I didn't care about anything else. This year, I have chosen to enjoy life - all aspects of life: food, friends, family, activities, etc. I can already tell that '09 is going to be a good fantastic year.


What are your resolutions for 2009?

Happy New Year! Good luck with your resolutions!!

Chelsea  

Happy New Year! That's a perfect resolution, and I'm sure one you'll be able to stick to. I'm not really a resolutiony person; going vegan is the only one I've ever stuck with!

Well said :D. I use the bagged cheese from whole foods, or even their brand of mozzarella that comes in a cube. I'm also quite picky about mozzarella, some cheeses are just too mild or even too salty!

I have too have sometimes come close to burning out by unrealistic expectations of myself. This year I wanted to choose a word to live by, or rather to create a theme around which my life would evolve. I've chosen two words, peace and harmony. Nice post and nice blog.

Best. Resolution. Ever! Mine is a bit less glamorous, I want to try new ingredients and new foods I've been to skeptical to try until now.

About the photography lighting set, he got it from ebay. I love it!

They sound like good resolutions, I used to be just the same, the only resolution I have ever kept is to not make any. I am still working on my goals for the year.
Happy new year

Hey Harriet  

A very happy new year to you! I no longer make resolutions because I never keep them, but I really like yours. So I think I'll make that my goal also. Enjoying life sounds perfect to me!
