I've wanted to do a post of New Year's Resolutions for a while, and my friend Holly's post about them ("Oy With the Resolutions,") gave me the kick in the pants to write my own. So here they are:
My 2011 Resolutions (I couldn't come up with a more clever name like Holly did, boo.)
- Exercise more and lose some weight.
- Write (almost) every day. (I hope to write at least one blog post a week and do some other type of writing at least three times a week. I know this doesn't quite add up to every day but I think setting smaller goals that I can actually accomplish helps me to reach those larger goals.)
- Finish and get through one edit of my 2010 NaNoWriMo novel.
- Read at least as many books as I did in 2010, if not more. (I read 30 books this year, which is a lot for me! But I enjoyed it so much and I have hundreds of other books that I want to read, so this resolution shouldn't be too hard.)
- Randomly pay for a stranger's meal. (I heard that this happened once - someone did the whole "Pay it Forward" thing at a restaurant and for the whole day, everyone else did the same thing! I've been wanting to do it since then, and I will do it one day, even if it's not in 2011.)
- Be more positive and less judgmental.
Well, that's all I can think of right now. But I'm sure there are more things that I'd like to do next year.
Happy New Year!
