2009 already!?

I'm absolutely not going to make a list of resolutions I can't keep. I do that every single year knowing full well I'm not going to follow through. This year I'm going to make a few that I'll actually want to keep. Easy stuff... forget about the exercise and weight loss! What I really want to do is this:

Take more pictures. I want to be seen more often with my camera in hand. I want to take pictures just for the sake of it, and I want to get my name out there a bit more and pick up with the business side of things.

Read more...Bible, novels, photography books, etc. Anything I can get my hands on.

Finally, I'm going to make more "me time". I'm going to spend more time in the tub and going out with friends. I'm going to bake more and put flowers on my kitchen table more often. I'm going to be nicer to myself. That's important.

So there you have it...not a single word about getting in shape or going to bed earlier or eating right. That's just not what I'm going to bother with this time. Maybe next year.

2008 was great. I'm not going to list every event, but it was a blessed year. I'm looking forward to '09 and believe that God's blessings are upon it.

Happy New Year!
