The Year At Its End

found via: Weheartit

The year is at its end. We have had a fantastic holiday season, relaxing, playing, and anticipating the future months to come! We will celebrate the New Year at my parents' home with all my siblings and their families.

Tonight will be our last hurrah of snacking because I have strayed off the path of healthy and reasonable and entered a far-away place called grazing which simply must end. Hard to do with as many tasty, comforting, holiday foods we have had the pleasure to indulge in.

However, if I see another chocolate marshmallow anything before the following Christmas year, it will most definitely be too soon.

So, resolutions. Yes, I like to set goals for myself each year. I consider it more of a Wish List of 2010. We all decided to pick 10 goals to inspire ourselves in 2010.

Here are mine:

1. Celebrate the Solstices and Equinoxes
   
2. Start my own Happiness Project 2010
   
3. (Re)learn how to knit
4. Keep a one-sentence journal
5. Finish unfinished projects
6. Create an Etsy shop
7. Lose weight; choose healthier foods
8. Blog at least twice a week
   
9. Declutter/ minimalize (check out Unclutterer and the mnmlist)
   
10. Set up the twins' bedroom

Then sing, young hearts that are full of cheer, with never a thought of sorrow; the old goes out, but the glad young year comes merrily in tomorrow.
