New Year's Resolution Time Again

I looked up, copied and pasted the New Year's resolutions I listed last year:

  1. Health - probably the most listed resolution. I'm not out of shape but there is always room for improvement... I want to resume working out and continue eating well.
  2. Fun - I want to take life and myself less seriously. I need to learn to not sweat the small stuff and find joy even when and where I least expect it.
  3. Step Out - I want to take steps (even if they are baby steps) to get out of my comfort zone. I want to continue pursuing my passion for traveling, to branch out and meet new people, and do things out of my normal routine.
For the majority of the year I believe I kept these resolutions without thinking about them. Honestly, I forgot what New Year's goals I listed by mid January! I'm not sure about health but how can you not have fun and step out a little when:
  • Your brother finally gets married and it's a party on the beautiful Neuse river in Oriental NC.
  • You are there when your school upsets Michigan. (sorry Beth I keep mentioning this)
  • You are there when your school wins it's 3rd national championship plus you get to tailgate for 6 hours prior to kickoff.
  • You travel to Wyoming and Idaho. You visit the Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks plus much more.
  • You escape for a few days to Cabo San Lucas Mexico.
I decided to keep #1 and #2 on the list for 2008. I'm not too concerned about #3. I think part of having fun is stepping out.

Do you make New Year's resolutions?

I loved it when you beat Michigan too. It made our sucky season slightly less sucky.

And I made very elaborate resolutions last year, many of which I kept but of course, I can't become perfect in one single year, I left myself some to try again! lol

I did not make them last year, it was the first time ever. I decided I wasn't going to put pressure on myself. This year I am going to make them, I am working on them as we "speak." Aside for the important one, health/getting more fit, I need to make more career resolutions. Gonna post them when I have them. I really liked yours. Didn't you just love the Grand Tetons and Yellow Stone? We took the girls Across America in a car, and we loved it there. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Any predictions for 2008?
