The New Year Rings Loud and True

The New Year. A time when we all decide on some resolutions and attempt to better ourselves. I know that there are many people out there who find this concept a wee bit ridiculous. Why chose one day to better yourself? Why not decide to change and start progressing on that day? I totally get that, but I think that it is the motivation that some people need. My resolutions this year are common among many others out there floating through the void. The resolution to workout and get healthy. Get my ass in gear and start to watch what I eat. No, I'm not a fat person. I'm a healthy size, but on the heavier size of healthy. I'm a size 10 about 165 pounds give or take. I want to work out in order to feel happier about myself. To look in the mirror and think "Damn girl! Look at you!"

Naturally, this is not my only resolution. I want to keep up my reading. Expand my mind and explore the glory of knowledge. I can check part of this off because I have gone back to school and am expanding my knowledge that way. However, I want to expand further and move into the realm of crafts. This year I make a conscious effort to knit more. That is right people, I will embrace the power of yarn and needles. I will finish the cat bed I started. I will make something sexy that I can wear. I will knit a pair of socks! That is right, you read that correctly. I will knit a pair of socks before December 31st, 2011.

I suppose that I should also make an effort to keep up on my little blog here and fill up my little sanctuary with words. To try to make an effort to write more than a paragraph. It's funny how one will think that they have something to say, but then they try to put their words on paper (or on a computer screen) and they will be at a loss. They will stare at that blank sheet (screen) dumbfounded. Maybe there will be something on the television behind them and they will be more interested in watching the reflection of the TV in their computer screens. The important thing, though, is that we try. The effort is the important thing. So no matter what your own resolutions may be, work on them and try your best. I wish you all the best of luck. Hell, I know that I could use a little luck in my own endeavors.
