My 2008 resolutions........
One is to stay healthy - I realize that I don't have a LOT of control over that, but I can keep a positive attitude, follow up with my doctors, eat healthy and exercise.
My second resolution is this..... in this journal, every single day of 2008 I will enter 3 things that I'm thankful for that day. They can't overlap, so that will be 1098 unique things by the end of the year.
We are all so blessed - even when things go wrong, or we have a bad day, rest assured that someone else had a worse day, or is suffering more than you at that moment in time. Be thankful for what you have - for those close, for your job, etc. I plan to focus on not only the large things, but the small ones as well. Too often we let the negativity overtake whatever positive we have going on. I hope this will teach me not to do that.
And the best part? I found a PINK journal - yay :)

My Sweetie
My Mom

Enough money to pay my rent this month
Oh! So, it's a new year. Here are the main resolutions I'm working on.
#1: Don't buy any unnecessary expensive camera gear--like, nothing over $100--until I deal with my credit card debt. I've made myself a deal that I can buy a new lens for my Leica once I get my Discover card paid off, then I'll let myself buy something fun every time I knock, say, $2K off my main debt pile.
#2: Don't go out to eat so much. Specifically, I'm not letting myself go out to eat until I've dropped ten pounds. Then I think I'm going to make it a thing where I can go out to eat once for each time I drop five more (not counting however much I go up when I do go out to eat).
(I'm writing this in the future, so I've stuck with it at least 9 days in. Except I let Courtney take me out to eat, but she paid, so that's okay.)

I'm not really into new years resolutions, but here's a short list of my photo related ambitions for this new year:
- Learn more about lighting (and read up on strobist.blogspot.com/)
- Practice shooting in manual mode (just to get a better grip on how things work)
- Shoot a nice portrait of a stranger
- Get into top 10 on explore
- Appreciate the fact that the Fugger group is still alive and participate in more invasions!

Macro Mondays (01.04.10) - New Year's Resolutions...
This shot is for the Macro Mondays group theme of resolutions. I am almost always late, and every year I resolve to be on time. May I can be on time in at least one time zone this year! LOL!
My New Year's Resolution (for Flickr Group Roulette as well as for general sentiment): To FULLY participate in this new year of the 365 Project. That is, to ACTUALLY take 365 photos of myself for 365 days.
Additionally, to take/post a photo of one of the kiddos each day. Between my own four and my niece and nephew that I babysit, I have plenty of photogenic subjects that I've been neglecting.
Pretty cute little dude, isn't he? Especially given that he's SICK at the moment. (High fever the past two days, etc).

New Year's Resolution - post backlog of photos while camera's on the fritz.
Is this crop better than the original treatment?
We could also call this FacePalm. My only New Year's resolution for most of my adult life has been a simple one. I believe in not setting myself up to fail. And there is one thing I know I can probably do that will do me a world of good. So most years I remind myself to "Drink More Water." Not a copout. It's a good one.
This year, I'm also reminding myself to more more and to eat a salad every day... some sort of salad. Not that hard. But also a world of good. #365FeministSelfie
Here's me on that first 2014 long walk. It may look like I'm riding a bike, but no, I'm really taking a selfie and a palmie at the same time. Hence: FacePalm.

Jan 02 2017: [Resolution] I'm maintaining my New Year's resolution to recycle and help keep the environment a little healthier. For no other reason than to just prevent the planet from becoming a giant garbage dump.
My new years resolution this year was to cut back on my shoe purchases to only one pair a month.
I'm already three months ahead.

This is me using our ab roller. One of my resolutions was to do some kind of physical activity five days a week. I know that sounds like a really wimpy goal, but I've been crazy lazy for a long time. :)
I figured that doing anything was better than doing NOTHING. I've had some pretty good success with this goal. Steve and I like to watch "Everybody Loves Raymond." I've been using the ab roller, doing bicep curls, and doing other simple exercises while we watch. I don't get bored if I'm watching the show. Hopefully I keep up the good habit.
