So it's been an hour since the new year began, and I've already enacted the first of several New Year's Resolutions I've made. I took a picture.
Among other things this year I vowed to take a picture each day, print it and put it in the handwritten journal I'm also going to keep each day. No real reason for this other than to develop a habit of consistency. Or routine. Something like that.
A lot of people I know don't make resolutions, actually most of the people I know don't, but I like them. Everyone has goals and things they envision themselves being and doing "someday" and New Year's day provides a splendid opportunity to stop waiting for someday and to make it happen. No one just wakes up one day with a book ready for publishing when the day before they only had a hazy memory of what a word processor was. Likewise no one wakes up a svelt 130 pounds one day when the day before they were 250. Why not use January 1st as the starting point for bringing your goals to fruition? I hope to succeed with my goals this year, and honestly, I've not set myself anything unachievable, so we'll see where I've gotten on December 31st, 2010!
In other news, my evening was quiet. We watched the replay of the ball drop and toasted with our mimosas. Both my mom and I remembered to wear our red underwear (an Italian tradition we picked up from our exchange student years ago). Anyway, now, two mimosas in I'm pretty sleepy, so I'm off to bed.

Good on you for making resolutions; I never do, because I suck at following through with them.
