Moving into the New Year
Right now I'm trying hard not to set myself a bunch of resolutions that I'll just end up breaking by week two of the new year. I do believe I get a fresh start each year to try again, but so very often I set myself goals that I'm not really all that interested in accomplishing, so I fail. So here are a few that I actually do care about:
1. Cook more - yes my commute makes this difficult, but there are ways around it and I'm a creative person. We really don't need to be on first name basis with all the delivery men in the area.. really. I have enough cookbooks to start a library, crack them open and try a few things.
2. Accept cooking failures - sometimes what I try will be gross. That's ok, don't take it personally. Keep a few frozen meals around for those failure days.
3. Continue to expand my community - Interact more with other people. Yes, it's online interaction, so what, enjoy the friends you have and meet new people.
4. Play more with Onyx - she sleeps too much and I spend too much time on the couch. Playing would be good for both of us.
5. Be more aggressive about my health. This needs to be a priority and it's not ok to simply wait around anymore.
