A new year, a fresh start

One of the things I really like about New Year's is the feeling of having a fresh start—of looking at a whole year, full of possibility, spreading out before you. That's why I think New Year's resolutions are so fun; there are innumerable ways you can resolve to change or improve your life. My resolutions this year are pretty standard fare:
  1. Eat more fruits and vegetables, and less sugar
  2. Finish my first draft of Dyllan and Abigail, and finish revising Water Magic
  3. Understand more, and judge less
  4. Draw more—at least once a week
  5. Keep blogs up to date, with at least one post a week
  6. Read 60 books
I would also love to learn Spanish, but I don't know if I'll be able to afford classes this year. The same for yoga and photography. But overall, I think the above list is enough to keep me busy. Some year I would love to make a crazy cool resolution like "learn the violin" or "volunteer in Africa" or "finally learn how to surf." But then, who knows what 2013 will bring.

So, Dear Readers, have you made resolutions this year? Or, what's the best or most fun resolution you ever made? Let me know in the comments.

Oh, and happy, happy New Year! I wish you peace, happiness, and fulfilment in 2012.
