New Year's Resolutions

OK. I have had some time to think about this.  Resolutions should be something that betters yourself, and should also be something practical.  I have made them in the past and have failed. So, this year I have decided to keep it simple.  

- I will strive to be a better person.  I will try not to judge people too harshly.  Try not to be cynical and accept people for what they are.

- I will try my best to be on time.  I am always known for being the one who is late, so I have decided to change that

- To go along with that, I will try not to procrastinate.  Why am I always pushing my priorities aside?  NO MORE!!!

- Film something!! Why did I pay soooo much money on a camera if I'm not going to use it?!  Craziness.  I need to film something.  Make a short film.  Do some interviews.  Film flowers wilting.  I don't know.  I need to do something with it!!

- Read.  Read. Read.  Not just fiction which is what I normally read, but I should read other things. Yes.  Catch up on some comics.  Read a biography.  A history book.  Something that helps me become a better person.  Something that makes me think about my values. 

- Craft Day.  Once a month, I will host a craft day.  I want to get in touch with my creative side.  I need to be able to balance work and fun.  I hope to be a happier person this year, and I feel that craft days will really help me keep my stress level down and my happiness up.

- Leave the country.  I've never visited another country before.  I hope to do so this year.  I don't care if I go to Mexico or to China.  I want to set foot on a different country.

-Spend more QUALITY time with the family.  I love my family to death, and I need to remember to take some time out from my life and see what's going on in their lives.  

- Be a better friend.  I think I can be an awesome friend.  However, one can always be better.  I will work on my friendships and not take them for granted.

- And finally, find out what and who makes me happy.  It's just as simple as that. 

I guess these aren't really resolutions.  They're just a bunch of things I need to do in my life, and I hope to start doing them this year.
