I think I prefer to set some goals and make a good attempt to learn from the past year, rather than make so called resolutions. Resolution sounds like a do or die event, and makes some people feel like they have failed if they do not follow through.
A goal can be reworked as you go and learn things along the way. So what are my goals??
Right now my goals are to simplify wherever possible, take on what I know I can do with the time available and to learn or concentrate on a new craft or creative project each month. Right now, for January I have been gathering and sorting through pictures and keepsakes and learning some new scrapbooking techniques and ideas. Not only is organizing something in my life, it is fun to look at all the photos and share them. i saw an idea that I loved on a craft website - display your scrapbook pages in a frame for a while and then when you make a new one of a special event, the one hanging goes in a book. So you get to enjoy your work of art - after all those pages do take a lot of time and effort!
I will post my goal activities and progress as I go. i would love to hear some of yours too! And they dont have to be made in January either, look how long it took me to put all this down! Progress, not perfection - babysteps, as Flylady would say. Keep moving forward as Walt Disney said.
I also received a new camera from my husband for Christmas, so now the pressure is on to get back into photography, keep it organized and actuallt print and share those photos!
