Resolutions

I always like the freshness of a new year. Planning on changes that I want to make, things I want to be better at. As I was thinking about my approach for this year, I wanted to be simple so I wouldn't overwhelm myself. Because lets face it....there are millions of things that I could do better. Maybe I'd categorize into various areas: physical, creative, emotional, spiritual, organizational and then make one doable goal for each. That way I would have five main goals. I still haven't decided exactly what I am going to try to accomplish, but I have some ideas. The one thing I do know is I will not stress about it!

I thought that I would "try" and do 365 photos for next year with my photo a day. I know that is a BIG goal, but if I could get most of the days done, it would be a cool visual representation of my year. So hop on over there and keep me accountable.

Speaking of resolutions, Steve had a conversation with Lauren and Kyle in the car on the way to the movies today.

Kyle resolves to be nicer to his brothers and sister. To try very hard not to tease or aggravate them. Perfect for him :)

Lauren resolves to be "confident. When Dad and Mom tell me NO about getting a dog. I will save my money and go buy one myself."

hahahahahhahahahahahaha! Yeah right!

Quick self portrait.

I realized that I hadn't picked up the camera in a few days.

Went around snapping a few Christmas details.

Realizing that I NEED to buy an external flash

because I had to bump up my ISO thus the graininess.

It turned out nonetheless.

I really need to try to do more of these in the coming year.

Then I am documented.

I'm sure the kids would like to see what I looked like through the years.
