It’s almost February and I’m finally taking the time to write down my resolutions.\u00a0 After a quick glance through the forgetful.ca archives, it seems that it’s not something I’ve been very good at over the years, or at least the years we’ve been blogging.\u00a0 I always try to make them as there are always things I think I can improve on, and sharing them here forces me to own up a little bit.<\/p>\n
The usual suspects:<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0 Make better use of my time.\u00a0 I waste a lot of my very limited free time on surfing.\u00a0 I don’t want to give it up completely as there are a number of blogs that I read religiously that I would miss dearly, but most of it has got to go.\u00a0 And that includes Facebook.\u00a0 I find myself on there too often checking in on the ‘friend’ I haven’t seen in 20 years.\u00a0 Waste. Of. Time.\u00a0 I’d much rather be…<\/p>\n
2. Taking More Pictures.\u00a0 This goes completely against what I wrote in #1, but I recently stumbled on and have been obsessed with some AMAZING photographer’s blogs (like this one<\/a> and this one<\/a> and this one<\/a> ) and I am completely and totally inspired.\u00a0 Beyond inspired.\u00a0 I so want to pull my camera out, dust it off and try to work my own magic.\u00a0 Perhaps Kris will get inspired with me and we can pick up www.photopography.wordpress.com where we left off…<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0 Eat healthier.\u00a0 I’m a healthy eater.\u00a0 Sickningly so to some of my co-workers BUT since the fall I’ve fallen off the wagon a little.\u00a0 Or a lot.\u00a0 Health was not the motivator, chocolate was.\u00a0 And I feel it now.\u00a0 Just blech.\u00a0 Eating healthier will help.\u00a0 A lot.<\/p>\n 4.\u00a0 Write more.\u00a0 And not just on the blog but especially on the blog.\u00a0 Why have it if it is going to sit there untouched?\u00a0 I can’t promise a post a day, but I can try.\u00a0 And taking more pictures will help.<\/p>\n 5.\u00a0 Read more.\u00a0 This horrendous bus strike has singlehandedly stolen my book mojo.\u00a0 I’m not really one to read before bed and so reading during my long and boring commute was all I was doing, but it was enough.\u00a0 I was satisfied.\u00a0 I was happy.\u00a0 Now I’m barely reading at all since I’m carpooling with 5 other friends\/co-workers.\u00a0 I’m loving not standing at the bus stop in the -30 temperatures we’ve been having, but I have to admit that I’m missing the bus.\u00a0 I’ve been neglecting Edward and Bella since before Christmas.\u00a0 it’s high time for a reunion.<\/p>\n And last but not least:<\/p>\n I want to do everything with intent and purpose.\u00a0 I want to forgive and forget.\u00a0 I want to laugh hard and smile often.\u00a0 I want to appreciate the quiet moments and cherish the LOUD, wonderful, fleeting toddler moments.\u00a0 I want to love with my whole heart.\u00a0 I want to stop and take it all in.\u00a0 I want to hug the important people in my life with meaning.\u00a0 I want to live simply and enjoy the little things more.\u00a0 I want to be proud of all I’ve accomplished.\u00a0 I want to constantly remind myself of exactly how lucky I am.<\/p>\n 2009 is going to be a good year…I’m already sure of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s almost February and I’m finally taking the time to write down my resolutions.\u00a0 After a quick glance through the forgetful.ca archives, it seems that it’s not something I’ve been very good at over the years, or at least the years we’ve been blogging.\u00a0 I always try to make them as there are always things […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/forgetful.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1177"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/forgetful.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/forgetful.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forgetful.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forgetful.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/forgetful.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1177\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/forgetful.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forgetful.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/forgetful.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
