It's that time of the year

Here's to a Happy New Year and resolutions for 2009

time for resolutions, words, challenges and goals.  I myself have several in mind that I want to begin or repeat from last year.

• I love the project 365, it is a wonderful way to look back at your year and remember some of the details that happened throughout the year.  I know I missed a few days in picture taking and I'm okay with that, I think I still captured the essence of the project and plan to continue this one in 2009.

• Ali Edwards one little word, that one I fell off the wagon big time with in 2008 but do plan to choose my word wisely and live by it in 2009.

• Oh the dreaded weight loss seems to be a part of my goals, challenges and resolutions over and over again!  that's why I think those of us (who have this goal) can relate so well to Cathy Z and her post about weight loss.  And while I'd like to lose 10+ lbs, its something that I've talked about all of 2008 and done nothing about. 

• Scrapbooking... I'm happy with what I have accomplished this year but  yet I still found myself trying to complete projects at the last minute for Christmas gifts.  This year I would like to make a project a month that will be a gift.  Even if its a layout a month for family, after 12 months you've got a great gift...

• De cluttering my house - this one I already began and plan to continue though the year.  A friend of mine told me once that every time you bring something new into your house, you should be taking something out.  Now I know I haven't been following that rule, but do plan to in 2009

• Obviously reading 100 books in 2008 did not work out for me, but the fact that I read almost 50 books and have them written down is a great accomplishment to me.  I think my new goal will be to reach or surpass 50 in 2009.
