New Year - New Me?

Again, another month has passed since my last post (sorta sounds like the beginning to confession, doesn't it?) AND a new year has come onto the calendar. Like everyone else, as the last digit turns over I start to get reflective of the year past and look forward to the clean slate of the year ahead.

I don't usually make huge life shattering resolutions, but try to think of small things that are actually attainable. I've learned that by doing it this way I don't hate myself come February if I haven't stuck to the diet, or gone running three times a week or stopped eating ice cream (do I really think I have a chance at that one?).

For example, 2007's resolution was to sing more. Did I keep it? Yeah, I actually did. Did my singing voice improve? No.... but I don't give a rat's behind if the guy in the car next to me is laughing because I'm belting out "We Are Family". Guess that was a confidence boosting thing - double bonus points.

For 2008 I've come up with a couple (and if I succeed at just one I'll be happy):
-Wear more skirts/dresses
-Blog more
-Take more photos (and not necessarily of The Dude, but really explore my artistic side)

See? Attainable. Life altering? Probably not. But there is a chance that at the end of the year I'll have a lot of new clothes and a pretty good portfolio!
