my resolution this year is to not make any resolutions, except for the following: hang around the house more. 2011 was BUSY, you know? we got married, we moved, i got a new job, one of the kids is in their last year of high school and one is making the transition into teen-dom, and all i want for the next year is to relax and spend more time with them. i want to work on the house a bit, do some painting, get the rest of the boxes either unpacked or set on fire. this sounds ridiculous and hokey, but i want to make the house more comfortable and cozy, and more "us." it's already awesome, don't get me wrong, but the family room we never use because it's not very inviting looking, my nook is overwhelmed with stuff, i have a whole lot of clothes i never wear taking up space, etc. isn't there always a laundry list of things you'd like to do in the house? i would like to work on saving money this year too, but i'm afraid of saying that out loud. i'm thinking i'll go ahead and get an account at a bank i'll never use, and start socking money away in there. or something. i have a coffee can that might work as well...
regardless of resolutions, i had a wonderful 2011, i'm looking forward to a quieter 2012, and am wishing you and yours the very best. the new year always feel so good, so hopeful, like the first sheet of blank paper in a journal or sketch pad, you know? i'm going to just enjoy the possibilities, and try to make the most of it.
