Onwards and Upwards

I love new year's resolutions. I do. That opportunity to look ahead, plan and set goals really appeals to my inner nerd.

I've already looked back over 2010, and now I'm more than ready to forget about the year that was, and move on. It was a year filled with great things, but also a very dark year personally.

And so we come to next year.

My main resolution is to be happy. To focus on the positive, to not let myself go down the path I went down this year. I can't do it again, I can't let myself go back there.

I'd love a book deal... or two... or three... (just putting that out there!)

I want to finish our house, see the end of painting and the like. I want to be able to sit back and think - DONE! And then focus our attention, time and money onto other things...

Like more travel. I want to do some big trips, see new places and explore the world. I'm hoping we get a big trip into the second half of 2011. (Asia and Africa are topping my list right now.)

I want to write, write, write.

2011 will, for me, be all about being in the moment and enjoying the little things. The little everyday moments that need to be soaked up, because they only come once.

Wishing you all a wonderful year ahead.
