What better way to start off a new year and a new decade than to start a blog to share my thoughts? In the past few years, I have really wanted to keep a blog but never got the chance to... mostly because of stupid excuses like "I'm too busy" and "it'll interfere with my work and studying". For those who knew me in high school, I was an avid user of Xanga and frequently posted updates about my life and feelings. I really miss having that type of outlet to express my thoughts... so enough with the excuses! I'm finally starting a blog! 2010 is going to be a fresh start and I'm hoping it's a year that will bring many positive changes. :)
So New Years was a few days ago and as I was counting down the last few seconds of 2009, I realized I didn't have any New Years resolutions! I usually don't really set any resolutions for myself and when I HAVE set them in the past, I never quite followed them. So this year, I'm hoping to be a little more disciplined. I really didn't know what resolutions to set for this year but as I was checking my Twitter today, somebody had tweeted a "New Years Resolution Generator" for inspiration.

My New Years Resolutions:
1. Update and maintain my blog on a regular basis
2. Engage in physical activity at least 3 times a week
3. Do more real cooking and experimenting in addition to the baking I usually do
4. Learn to calm down and stress less
5. Improve on maintaining contact with old and new friends
6. Do a better job at avoiding foods I'm sensitive to
7. Reconnect with my parents
9. Challenge myself by learning something new (exactly what... TBD)
10. Live. Laugh. Love. Basically, enjoy life and cherish every second of it.
So that's it for now... Happy New Year to everyone! May 2010 bring many challenges, adventures, and new memories.
Cheers,
