via Fashiontribes but I loved this image so much I just had to post. It’s so freakin’ true!!
I quit making Resolutions when I was 29. I actually didn’t write anything down that year, didn’t make a list, didn’t decided what areas I was going to better myself in. (So uncharacteristic of me!!) I’m not exactly sure why – but I think it might have been because I would always write the same thing every year – and so now those “To-Do’s” are permanently emblazened in my brain; a constant reminder in the back of my head. I don’t need to write them down anymore.
Or maybe I finally realized that by making a plan, I tend to stick with it – and miss out on all the little opportunities that present themselves, refusing to veer from my plan in the slightest – and not realizing that I’ve overlooked that the journey is not always a straight line but often a meandering, crazy-ass wander that pitches you into a pile of brush on one hand, gets you lost on the other, makes you regret that you ever chose this path – but eventually, gets you exactly where you want to be in the end.
So No Resolutions! No To-Do Lists for the Year! (I make those on a daily basis, thank you very much.;-)
Just Life Goals:
2. Share, share, share. Eventually it will come back in droves.
3. Make friends, keep friends, appreciate loved ones – multiply the love.
4. Be fit and healthy.
5. Be HAPPY!
What are your resolutions/goals?

Wait- what? You're at least 29? No way! You look like you're 21 or something! haha 😀
I hate this cliche, but for a lack of a better phrasing, “You go girl!!!” 🙂
Hi there 😀 your so right about New years resolutions! It always seems to turn into something negative, like now I'm gonna go to the gym at least 5 times a week, never eat chocolate again and so on, and eventually your gonna break it, so I like that you turned it in to goals instead! And I'm totally in on your goals :o) And by the way love your DIY's <3 Happy new year to you!
Other than working off some of the extra holiday weight, I didn't make any resolutions this year either. I have a long enough to-do list with graduation, moving to another state, and grad school in my plans this year. I should probably work on things like time management and procrastination, but those seem to be lost causes anyway…
I love that picture, and I agree with it so much!
I don't do resolutions, just to do lists, and they're way more fun!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Cathryn: Wow, you have a ton of things on your plate already!! Who needs to add to that growing list? Best of luck with graduation, moving, grad school, time management…gosh, I feel like such a slacker!;-)
rachel: I hear ya! To-do lists always feel so much more satisfying when you check things off…with resolutions, I never feel like there's any “resolution” (or “end”) to the goal!
Thank you for your comments and best wishes to all of you in the New Year!
