New Year's Resolutions

So, I have been thinking about my new year's resolutions, in conjunction with my happiness project. Here are my resolutions:

1. To make new mistakes. No point in making the same old mistakes all over again. I am going to learn from my mistakes, and just make new ones.
2. To try new adventures. This month it is going to be riding the ski train to Winter Park--I have a ticket for Sunday. I am also going to go snowshoeing next weekend. If I like it, I might even buy some snowshoes at the end of the season (I hear you can get a really good pair cheap if you buy used rentals at the end of the season!)
3. To learn Spanish. I want to be able to converse with the lady who empties the trash in my office. She has such a sweet smile and such a great attitude, and she is working with me and she speaks not one word of English (that I can tell). But we have really formal conversations which consist of "Hello, how are you? I am fine, thanks. It is cold outside. Yes, it is." She has also taught me how to say "Encender la luz" which I think means turn on the light--or maybe it means turn the light off.
4. To cook more and eat out less. It is hard to make yourself cook for one, but I love to cook and I find great joy in chopping and slicing and dicing, and I love the aroma of food cooking--all of it. Plus it takes up time in the evening, so that is nice. And, then i can have left overs for lunch. I am going to find new and delicious recipes that I can share with others!
5. To remember each and every day how lucky I am. I have many blessings: family, friends, a great job, a beautiful view out the window on my floor, and my health. Most of all, I have the marvelous Macy and the handsome ER and, I am sure, babies to come!

So Happy New Year to all of you!
