I probably won't do (or deal with) #2, #5, or #11, but the rest are still on the table.

 

I really don't like resolutions, but I love goal setting.  I guess it is the whole year-long thing that bugs me.  So I have decided that this year I will set three monthly goals.  Maybe they will even turn into habits and stick around.  And there's no reason that I can't re-set the goal. Here goes. . .

 

• I have a brand new Canon D7 camera, so I will use it every day so that my skills will improve.  This can be one photo or one hundred.  It is quite a bit heavier than my xTi, so I just want to get used to it.
• I will write notes to at least four people.  Nothing is better than getting a hand written note.
• I will make sure that the kitchen is picked up before I go to bed every night.
