2011 Resolutions

Happy New Year!

I can't believe another year has already flown by.

Guess it's time to make another round of pesky resolutions... a lot of years I don't even bother making them as I'm just going to end up breaking them.  But this year, I'll go ahead and make one.

I won't bother with the standard eat healthier or exercise more... I'd rather stay curvy with my extra 10lbs and enjoy my love of food and spend what little free time I do have doing everything but exercising.

I will however go with the standard enjoy life more.  It's quite abstract and not really measurable so maybe I will succeed this year!  Another way I could describe this would be to loosen up.  I am definitely a Type A personality who is stubborn, headstrong and a rules-based perfectionist.  In 2011, it's time for me to let go of some of these self-made rules of mine.  It's time to enjoy the little things.

As it relates to blogging... it's okay for a blog post to not have pictures.  It's okay to not be in chronological order all the time.
As it relates to money... it's okay to splurge here and there.  It's okay if every purchase isn't fully practical and functional.
As it relates to work... it's okay to make a mistake.
As it relates to friends and family... it's okay if they're not perfect... no one is.  Let the little things go.
As it relates to me... it's okay for me to do what I want to do.  To have me time.  To not cater to everyone else.

Day 1: So far so good!  This post has no pictures and I didn't wait until after I caught up with my December travels, I enjoyed an afternoon cookie snack without guilt, and I'm spending the afternoon playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 on the Wii because it makes me happy.

Happy New Year friends!  Good luck with your resolutions (if you decide to make any.)
