Hope everyone had a safe and happy night ringing in the new year! We went to a ball game and to dinner with friends, then stayed in the comfort of our home the rest of the night (and did stay awake until after midnight!).
I don't have a resolution for this year. I do however, have a list of "goals". These are my 13 for 2013. I've seen on several other blogs where people have created their 101 in 1001 lists, but I don't think I'm ready for that list yet. All of these goals reflect different areas in my life that I want to focus on.
1. Try a new restaurant once a month
We love food and trying new things. We tried quite a few new restaurants during 2012 here in the Raleigh area and during traveling but sometimes we get stuck in the routine with going to the same few. Any suggestions on places to try?
2. Finish guest bedroom/bathroom and now downstairs living area
I'm actually working on this right now.
3. Start and keep an organized recipe book
I've been eyeing this binder from Sugar Paper for a while and decided to get it so I can start my goal!
4. Go on a long walk at least once a week (at least 1x a month must be at a different place)
As long as it's not snowing (which rarely happens here) or some other type of natural disaster happens, I will do everything in my power to keep this goal! I love to go on walks but it can get boring sometimes when walking the same route.
5. Visit a new city and/or state
I love to travel and have a long list of places I would like to visit, but I'm going to keep this goal fairly small at one for now.
6. Keep all credit cards paid off
Well this one is just necessary
7. Visit new churches
8. Find a class to attend (at least once)
I'm thinking of golf, fitness, painting or perhaps guitar lessons...
9. Attend a concert/show I've never seen before
10. Grow at least one vegetable
I definitely do not have a green thumb but I still try because I love plants and see the benefits in growing your own herbs/veggies. I'll probably choose a tomato plant or pepper plant since we use those frequently with our cooking. I'm also open to tips to help with this! :)
11. Volunteer
Looking into places for this, any suggestions?
12. Keep better correspondence with people in all areas of life
13. Create a bucket list and 30 during 30 list
I've already started creating it and I'm sure it'll be an ongoing list but I'd like to finish the first draft.
Do you have new resolutions or goals for the year?
Happy 2013!
