Here's to 2008!

I've never been one for making New Year's resolutions, as I've always felt that they set us up to fail...Maybe that is because I'm one with many grand ideas but not much follow-through. But this year I have made an exception to my rule. And not only do I have a resolution, but (thanks to a friend of mine), I also have a word for 2008.

My word is "action." 2008 is going to be the year that I quit talking about things and actually begin to "do" them...to take "action" on my ideas and set them free to carry me into the unknown. This leads to my resolution...which is to learn something new every month of the year. Although I haven't quite decided on what to learn in January yet, I've got a small list of of things I'd really like to learn in 2008 (ex. salsa dancing, knitting something other than a scarf!, take a photography class). There are just so many amazing things to learn, and I've decided 2008 will be the year that I broaden my horizons.

This brings me to the picture for this blog. Those are the bowling shoes of Doug, Anne & I. Now, of course I've bowled before, but it's never been an activity I've enjoyed much. For Anne's birthday, I let that go & decided to have fun no matter what...and I did! (I even bowled a 126, which is great for me!) This was just one small step into 2008, my year of ACTION!

Happy New Year!
