Personal Record Breaking Blog Post

It is New Year's Eve.  By posting tonight, I will break my annual blogging record by 1 post for the year.  Yes!  I didn't intend to write a blog post tonight, but as I think about it, I have much I could write about.  I can write about how fortunate I feel to live the life that I live.  I can write about the holidays.  I can write about my plans, dreams and hopes for 2012.  Ah...I think we have a winner!

I am not one for making resolutions.  I make them.  I break them.  What's the point?  I'm sure it's really just semantics, but I prefer to set goals for the year and with that, if I don't accomplish them, it doesn't actually feel the same as breaking a resolution.  It's just something I didn't accomplish.

So, without further ado, and in no particular order, here is a list of goals I would like to work on for the coming year:

Work on being better organized

Move more (get exercise)


Eat healthier/lose a few (10ish) pounds

Read more/Learn more


Have more fun/Laugh more

Enjoy more family time and really enjoy my kids as they move ever so much closer to being grown (After all those years of warnings, "They grow so fast...enjoy them while they're young..." I get it).

Cook more

Say "no" once in awhile

Blog more than 4 times in a year

I think these are reasonable and attainable goals.  And am hopeful that 2012 is a great year for myself, my family and friends and the world.
