blog blossoms… how will my blog bloom?

It is believed that “going public” with one’s resolutions (I will, I will, I will) helps them to become reality.  I like the concept of goals over resolutions — the difference being that a resolution is an “I will, I will, I will!” pledge, and a goal is an “I will try, I will try, I will try!” pledge.

So here are Holly’s (my) goals for 2009, under the guise of resolutions!  [in random order]

I will try to:

* improve my personal fitness — lower my cholesterol — walk, hike, kayak/canoe, dance, stretch more often!

* write more poetry and blogs and pages toward want-to-publish books; write more personal letters to people special to me

* cook more, especially trying new international recipes

* make more time for language learning (French, Korean, basic greetings in other languages, too)

* make more time for friends and family

* reduce paperwork piles; reduce online “to-do” task lists

* make time for artistic expression and exploration (watercolor, flowers, nature art, more)

* travel! [hopefully abroad! FIND the money somewhere!]

* revisit “the H!” plans

* improve my online presence and online communication skills

* complain less.

* take more photos and upload ALL the photos I wish to share to Flickr
