happy 2011 to all

happy 2011 to all!  i don't know how you managed to usher in the new year, but mine was filled with laughter and friends.  what a wonderful way to begin a new year.

this of course is the time for resolutions.  although every year there is always one or two picked out and tucked into the deep corners of my mind, this year i am determined to write them all down.  yes, yes it is already january 1st and they are not yet written down, but i have a time picked out to do so this coming week, preferably monday or tuesday night after moving back to school and working at the office.  this year i have realized how important written goals truly are and to inform others of those decisions in order to find accountability in those goals.

my goals are multiple this year, in hopes of creating a "new me" in 2011.  physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, financially and relationally (i think that covers the bases).  i no longer want to set unreachable and possibly impossible goals, but want to remember to make them realistic.

one of my goals is my attempt to rectify my past failures of this school year, specifically with keeping in touch with friends.  i apologize to those people who feel i have lost contact amidst the busyness of school, but it will no longer be an excuse.  a friend is always there.  a phrase i often need to remind myself in order to steer away from selfishly shutting out the world when i find myself stressed out.

so to you who are also striving to set resolutions and goals for the new year, remember to make them reasonable and also meaningful!

happy new year!
