As 2011 was approaching I started a list of my goals and intentions for the new year. Here is a list of all the things that I’d like to work on this year and this entry is the start (if you look at #3 you’ll see that one of my goals is to blog more). I could have thought of hundreds more things to put on my list. I love writing lists and crossing things off but I chose 12 things to work on this year because I thought I could write about one of them each month (and hopefully focus on one each month). Although they are in no particular order, I did intentionally put the easiest ones at the top of the list and the hardest at the bottom.  Now let’s see how I do!

1. Finish decorating our home and get rid of all the clutter
2. Take more pictures and better pictures
3. Blog at least 12 times during the year — At least once a month for the entire year.
4. Workout at least 130 times this year (that’s about 2.5 times per week) — I only exercised/ran 84 times last year.
5. Focus on the positive
6. Spend a month in Europe
7. Be wiser about spending money
8. Be a better student
9. Be a better teacher
10. Be a better friend
11. Be a better wife
12. Be a better daughter
