I’m completely aware that it’s not even New Years yet, but it’s getting close and for some reason my mind is transfixed on making New Years resolutions. I honestly can’t tell you why I am so gung ho about this because if history is any indication whatsoever, the only resolutions I am actually any good at keeping are the ones I don’t make, and the ones I do make are completely ridiculous. Getting up every morning rain or shine at Dark o’Thirty to work out? Stop my serious procrastination habit?

Ha. And HA!

I’m usually the first one to declare loudly that I don’t bother making New Years resoltutions because that’s just silly, but the truth is that I have a hard time with setting attainable goals. I’m the type of person that if no immediate results are seen, I quit trying. I’m impatient. I’m hard on myself. I’m indecisive. I’ve become a bit disorganized in many different areas, blogging included. So this time, I’m really trying to break these resolutions down into manageable bites. I’m also praying for heaping doses of patience and will power to see me through even the smallest of changes for the better that I attempt to make.

What about you? Have you thought this far ahead yet? what do you want your 2010 to be like?
