Happy New Year!
Happy new year, everyone! I hope the new year brings you all much happiness and joy.
I got home today from my holidays. It was a lovely week and I'm so happy I got to see so many of my family and friends for Christmas/my birthday/New Years, but now I'm glad to be home again. I think Gus is glad to have us home again too.
As for goals for the new year... this year I'm not making any. There are plenty of things I'd like to get done, but the major lesson I learned in 2011 was how to not be too hard on myself. And I think that is an important lesson. I take on too much guilt with resolutions and goals. So I'll try a year without them and see if it makes a difference.
The one sort of yearly goal I'm keeping is the 52 books per year challenge. I read 53 in 2011, and that was fun to keep track of, so I think it will be fun to do that this year too.
