For a resolution I think you should learn a new skill outside of your usual patterns. Pick a funny instrument, like the accordion or bagpipes, and take lessons. Or like D said, ride a unicycle or walk on stilts. Or take a community college evening class that would help you in your profession. Or take Dutch 101. Or go to a rock climbing gym! Or challenge yourself to do a week of something new, every other week. Like, one week you vow to take showers that last only five minutes or less. Then you get a week off. Then the next week you vow to go to bed before a certain time. Then another week off. THEN, it's no refined sugars week! Then a week off. You get the gist.

Ehhh I think the one week at a time thing doesn't really offer any kinds of long-term improvements, if you only do the thing for one week. I like the idea of trying one new thing every other week but I think it would be more interesting to choose something experiential? I am going to take another continuing ed class this semester, though! I love the idea of learning a new language. I also bought a yoga ball to sit on!

WAIT NO I DIDN'T. Um. My brother bought me one.

IT'S THE CLIIIIIIMB

Huh, that linke reminds me of all the songs I need to download. And of how bad "The Climb" and the "I KNOW YOU WANT ME" song are.

Re: IT'S THE CLIIIIIIMB

[teaberryblue]

Yeah, that song is about ten times better than about half the songs included in it.

What do you think my New Year's Resolution should be?

More comics.

Also, if you think you have a good Word of the Year for me, I would love to hear it!

I'm rather fond of heliotrope

[teaberryblue]

Oh I would not worry about more comics.

I enjoy heliotrope as well but I am not sure how to work it into my year unless you are suggesting I should be wearing more purple!

[erinm_4600]

You could make it a point to notice ONE purple thing a day....

Once a week, use the word purple in a sentence...

There are so many things :)

[teaberryblue]

I could draw my comic in purple!

Thanks for the link to the mash-ups!

[teaberryblue]

Oh you are welcome! I just loved that so much!

[gildedage]

I think brave is a good word for you.
Maybe push? I think you're really fantastic at trying new things and pushing yourself beyond your own limits. So I think you should keep that up.

[teaberryblue]

Thanks! I try to do that! I don't think "push" is the word I would choose though because to me "push" has the negative connotations of being "pushy" as in overbearing. But I like the philosophy of it.
