Back to Bidness

Well, I definitely enjoyed that little blog hiatus, but I suppose its time to get back to it. After all, If I have to go back to work, I might as well get back to writing too.

I hope you all had fantastic holidays, and are getting in to the swing of a new year.

In keeping with the blog-o-sphere’s obsession with the new year, I guess I should drop my two cents in and say that I don’t “DO” resolutions. Last year, I went so far as to call them “anti-resolutions”… I’m good with goals though… that is a good thing, I think.

I certainly don’t like the pressure of listing all I will accomplish for the year at one time, my goals and desires (not to mention interests) change with the seasons, and I don’t want to box myself in, or set myself up for disappointment should I change my mind.

However, I’ve thought of some things that I’m totally committed to doing, and other things that might be cool, if I still feel like it when the time comes.

in 2010, I’m committed to making these things happen…

• I will STOP defining myself and measuring myself by the opinions of others (perhaps the greatest flaw in my character)
• I will be a loving, attentive, and passionate wife
• I will sing in a public and professional setting (aka, NOT bloody karaoke-though I love it)
• I will be cast in a stage production (make me a chorus girl, I don’t care)
• I will dig deep into my yoga practice, because it brings deep and abounding joy and peace to my life
• I will finish a half marathon (if my plantar fasciitis will ease up, and I can run it, that would be great)
• I will find beauty in myself, and stop being so critical when I look in the mirror
• I will maintain my healthy weight, and continue to be active and eat right.
• I never want my weight to TOUCH 150 again. I weigh 144 right now, and have weighed 143~145 since October. Lower would be cool though.

in 2010, I’d be stoked if these things came to pass, but I won’t get my panties in a bunch if they don’t…

• I’d like to blog 5 times a week
• I’d like to try a sprint distance triathlon
• I’d like to cut back on some of the crap I still eat (I’m a sucker for wine and cookies)
• I’d like to run a race in a place away from home
• I’d like to see the ocean again
• I’d like to get cast as a featured role in a stage production (I don’t mind if it’s small, but I’d love if my character had a name that I didn’t just make up… aka, villager #3)

I suppose that is it… You guys are awesome.

Have a happy Wednesday.
