I decided my last day of this year at work that I do like New Year's and got into that organizing mood, where you want to get everything organized. I would have previously listed New Year's near the bottom of my favorite holiday's list, mainly because it seemed like in the past New Year's Eve was usually full of high expectations and ended up disappointingly (in the single days). I realized though its nice to have one day a year set a-side for new beginnings. Its perfectly timed too, since December is full of over eating ( I've consumed way too much chocolate the past week), over-spending and general busy-ness. So, its nice to have a specific time to think of what you can/should change in your life to make it better. As I start thinking about my resolutions, I realize they are exactly the same resolutions I had last year and the year before...etc. Does anyone else have this problem? Also, how do you follow through? Lets be honest, who lets say by June is really thinking about what their N Y resolutions were? I think this year my resolution is going to be to figure out how to make them stick. Anyways, Happy New Year to everyone!

The trick with resolutions is to pick those that will inevitably come to pass. For instance, one of last year's resolutions was to have a baby. I was already pregnant. It's much more fulfilling that way.
woah, diane those glasses are really cool.
+repetition, hang up one resolution on your bathroom mirror and another in your car. That way you'll see them everyday and remember to work on them.
Good post. I almost never enjoy New Year's I don't know why, but it's always been my least favorite holiday. I wish you would have posted this earlier, I think that's a good approach to New Years. Generally I don't make any resolutions but this year I actually did.
