you know what? i have a TO DO list a mile long that are sort-of resolutions. but really they're just TO-DO's that i am just getting around to writing down. the most important things for 2010 = these 4:

1-for god's sake, live in the present more, but also do more of remembering that life is so much bigger than only what's happening in this very instant. 2-more love and effort into the relationships that matter. less into those that don't. 3-outwardly express gratefulness more. make a more concerted effort to do this. every day. 4-inwardly express gratitude more. make a more concerted effort to do this. every day.

some to do's. i mean, i have a whole year to do them :)

• blog more.
• take and publish/frame more photos.
• take a sewing class. explore possibilities. the ideas are there... all you have to do is learn :)
• start and maintain an ideas/inspirations notebook. (don't let this become a pile of mess. do it or don't.)
• make/keep more 1 ingredient snacks in our house.
• paint and organize our upstairs "office" so it becomes a real office.
• stick to your budget.
• practice saving $5's with eric. see what happens.
• reduce our paper towel use to 2 rolls/month instead of 4. use more dish towels. throw them in the wash daily.
• continue making laundry detergent.
• reduce cell minutes and cable package to bare usage needs.
• start (as many as possible) days with at least 10 minutes of meditation.
• floss every morning. brush every night.
• remember vitamin D every day.
• when new clothes come in, old clothes go out.
• use the library more. i do love that place.
• fit in more physical movement. yes, your time is limited. but yes, you have some more time. do it. you'll feel better. you'll be proud of yourself. dance with adam, go shopping at lunch, walk on the treadmill in the office gym and watch paternity tests on maury instead of working, walk with your boys around the neighborhood. the time is there. do it.
• stand up for yourself at work more. no one else is going to.
• visit the wineries in VA. they're so close, it's a shame to miss them.
