I don’t make resolutions in January like the rest of you (or, the rest of you who make resolutions). I always make them for Chinese New Year instead. I don’t really know why, but I’ve done it for years and I like the tradition.
Now, the Year of the Ox (2009 for you) was a rough year for most of us, myself included. I am actually not even going to go over all the resolutions I did not keep, but will instead just give you my list for The Year of the Tiger, which began on Sunday.
The Tiger List
- Go skiing or snowboarding or snowshoeing with some regularity
- Hike Mt. Timpanogos
- Run 2 5k’s
- Post two new recipe’s per week to heidikins cooks
- Finish one creative project per month
- Refinish dining room table
- Acquire modern-looking chairs to go with dining room table
- Photograph, organize and label the rest of my shoes
- Read 60 books
- Send a handwritten note once a week
- Save downpayment for a new car (or new-to-me car)
- Scuba-dive in the ocean
- Visit two Utah National Park’s I haven’t visited before
- Visit three states I haven’t visited before
- Plan and enjoy two international vacations
That’s it folks, my List for this year. I’m crazy-excited about the whole thing, actually. I really think I’ll be able to hit every last one of these, and that makes me happy. ;o)
Happy Chinese New Year! Happy Valentine’s Day! Happy President’s Day! Happy Wednesday!
