learn, laugh, love

it is the first day of a brand new year. the slate is clean, the drawing board is empty, the cliches are flowing. during a late evening shower tonight, the resolutions that i debate making each year came to me as easily as the hot water flowing over me.

what i'd like to do this year (a non-comprehensive list in no particular order)

1. learn to make clothes on my sewing machine and learn as much about sewing as possible while doing as much sewing as possible
2. go rock collecting and dig beautiful treasures out of the ground
3. take a real vacation (hawaii?)
4. adopt a puppy if humanly possible
5. work with babies and toddlers
6. start watching six feet under from the beginning
7. learn to love reading the bible again
8. sing in public
9. read, read, READ
10. survive the winter (without depression and bike accidents)
11. paint my apartment fun colors, at least my room (bright blue?)
12. consolidate and streamline debt, possessions, etc.
13. turn 25 without having a quarter-life crisis
14. get closer to going to africa
15. learn, laugh and love (yes, i am so freaking cheesy that i think i created a theme for the year...i knew that holiday letter was the beginning of the end)
16. take fashion risks
17. write letters, send presents, make gifts
18. find a new therapist, preferably a christian
19. get super and/or magic powers (or at least read the last harry potter book which better come out this year!)
