And so 2012 Begins

So at the end of 2011 I did not post, I was caught up in the Holidays, final exams, and a cruise to the Bahamas.

While on the cruise I did a little reflecting on the past year and years. I have come a long way, but still have a long way to go. I have several New Year's "resolutions" however, I am thinking of them more as life goals. I think I will stick with them better that way.

1. Quit Smoking. - This one will be difficult, but it needs to be done.
2. Exercise more. - A LOT more!
3. Eat Healthier. - I want to do this one by leaning more towards a vegetarian diet.
4. Write more often. - Not just here on my blog, but on my book, poems, etc.
5. Do more reviews on books I have read. - I love reading, and want to encourage others to do so as well, so why not write some encouraging reviews, perhaps someone will pick up a book because of what I said about it.
6. Stress Less. - I truly feel that this goal will be the hardest of mine to break, I tend to stress about EVERYTHING. From the past to the present to the future and to things that do not even pertain to me. I need to do a little more living in the here and now.
7. Save money - Accomplishing #1 will help with this goal.

This year holds a lot of exciting things. I will be graduating. I will also be moving in with my fiance after graduation and I am hoping that we get married before 2013 arrives. So here is to getting my diploma, finding a place, and planning a small quiet wedding, all while holding my job, writing more often, and getting my school work done.

Wish me luck with my goals, and good luck to you with yours.
