{ probably because I never keep them. we won't talk about that }
But, I also understand that we can't move forward and become the people we want to be without setting some type of goal.
I just don't believe in struggle. I don't like it. I don't believe it's necessary. And resolutions for me have always been a struggle.
Every little while, though, I come up with a list of things I want to accomplish. I don't give myself a time limit, because I don't like deadlines. I like being able to move at the pace I think I should be going at, and that things come in their own time, when I'm ready.
{ Which is probably why I don't run or do marathons or anything like that... I think a person should only run if they're being chased. That, and I'm just that lazy }
A few months ago, I came up with a new list:
- Write to a stranger
- Create an immediate universe of Zen
- Mail strangers mix CDs I've made
- Read a book a month
- Volunteer once a month
- Work out five times a week
- Drink more water
- Meditate
- Love specific things about myself
I had forgotten about the list (that's how I roll) until yesterday. I was really pleased that I could say I've accomplished some of those tasks already. Maybe resolutions aren't so bad, after all...
Anyone else got a list going? Want to share?

You are my hero! :)
My number one resolution/goal is to be more positive no matter what. To find the good in everything, and strive to do better when I fail at being positive! :)
Maybe I need a list. Maybe it would help me!
Heh... I kind of feel the same way, since it just seemed so trite around New Year's, LOL... but I'm working on improving my handwriting this year. That's the kicker: I have desires to improve; I just don't generally like putting them out there for the world, and I don't generally make any progress, either, LOL.
Maybe I should make "researching birth" a goal for this year - I could totally put that as largely-accomplished and still-in-progress, LOL! :)
