Resolution-o-rama!

darklunaI always make New Year's/birthday resolutions. It's rather convenient that both days of the year that make me crave dramatic change fall so close to each other.
My 30th year was the year I finally started to feel I'd gotten the hang of being me. I don't think it's coincidental that it was also the first full year I ever spent living alone.
So, resolutions! You don't have to read them. I just find that having them somewhere out in The Public gives me a bit more incentive to keep them.
- Do all the stupid crap I know I have to do to be healthy and lose weight. I lost 50 pounds about 3 years ago, and wasn't done, but kind of stopped. Ten of those have crept back - not good. I'd like to get rid of those 10, plus the last 20 I always meant to lose.
- Write every day and finish a major writing project. (I am looking at you, Valor Donnelly.)
- Be more careful about what I support, directly or indirectly, with my spending and actions. Buy organic and local as often as possible. Bring bags to the grocery store, a mug to the coffee shop. Drive as little as possible.
- Save at least a little money every month.
- Try to maintain some of the energy and activism the election inspired in me. Keep fighting the good fight.
- Quit smoking. (!!! Day two now. !!!)
- Get my little apartment actually clean, instead of just acceptably clean.
- Actually practice magic if I'm gonna call myself a witch. :)
- Last but certainly not least, a kind of life-philosophy resolution: If I have the chance to do something I've never done before, within reason of course, I should take it.
