Woody Guthrie's 33 (!) New Years Resolutions that he made in 1941 (for 1942) give us a view of an optimistic, serious, sensitive, funny man. Just dealing with the nine I chose to print here present a challenge but nearly 70 years on can't we all feel the resonance/relevance of the last one?

Emma wanted to duplicate my "awesome" idea for a New Years resolution to post on her my space. She was really clever with her's... For those of you who don't know my daughter she is a senior in high school. She is barely 5 feet tall and might be 100 lbs soaking wet. Her friends have always playfully teased her about how tiny she is. Even though she is petite, her intelligence, maturity, and personality are larger than life. When she talks about continuing to grow as a person I know she is referring to leaving for college this upcoming fall. While I realize every parent has to face the day their kids "leave the nest", I just can't believe it is already here. Needless to say I'm not quite really sure how I feel about 2008 and the New Year!
Hereios - New Years Resolution
I've learned to be realistic with my resolutions each year. I've given up on those impossible resolutions (lose weight, get more energy, find a girlfriend), so at the start of the year, I start thinking about places I want to go during the year. Naturally, the big trip is the summer vacation, and like I said earlier in the week, now that I'm not afraid of flying, that's opened me up to travel farther (and in less time). So where is it that I hope to go next summer?

Typically, I don't make resolutions but one thing that I will whole-heartedly continue to do is, support my local farmers and artisans. I will continue to purchase and use whenever possible, in-season locally raised, organic produce and meats. Real food tastes better....
First assignment of 2012. The theme is Fresh Start. So I'm on a health kick... Isn't everybody!?

Hereios - New Years Resolutions
I went meme crazy in my photostream this year, so why not have one last meme before year's end? :D
Every year, I say that this is the year that I'm going to start dating and possibly get a girlfriend, and every year that goal just falls flat. But time is running out. I'll turn 39 in 2013 and I'll be on the verge of a midlife crisis, so in 2013, I have to make more of an effort to get over my fear of talking to women and get at least one date. Ideally, I'd like to get a girlfriend, but just getting one date, regardless of it was awesome or it was hell, would be an accomplishment.
(And before anyone asks: no, I don't actually skype =)
For Macro Monday's New Year's Resolution Theme.
I don't typically do resolutions. I have zero self discipline and commitment issues. So why set myself up to fail? For the sake of "art" I'm making a few this year. And since I don't want to doom myself to fail I choose not to work in absolutes.
I'm not giving up chocolate or eating sweets or anything as drastic as that. My resolution is to eat less crappy poor quality domestic chocolate (sorry, Steve but compared to Belgian, Swiss and German chocolate, Hershey's is poo...) and eat more of the good stuff.
