I (like many) love the start a New Year. The clean slate, the fresh start, the optimistic resolve. It's when we decide to get healthy, amend broken relationships, save the planet, and be a better person. But why wait until January 1st to make those self improvements? I think a quiet introspection is invaluable year-round.
However, I don't want to feel left out, so I made a small to-do list and I'll try and stick with it. If I fail, I won't stress about it. Also, checking things off a list is just oh-so-satisfying.
Some of these things are comically mundane, but I'd like to do something daring, something creative, something healthy, spend some time in nature, try something new. Travel. Get smart. Assuming the world doesn't end, I'll hopefully be a little more well-rounded by next year.
So here we go, in no particular order, 12 things for 2012 :)
2. Go bungee jumping or skydiving (doesn't matter which, it's for the free-fall)
3. Watch the sunset from a mountain top or tall building
4. Run a 10K (with my recent injury, I now have something to prove)
5. Get a manicure
6. Read The God Delusion (I've read some of it's quotes and it so far I love it)
7. Try cross-fit
8. Get that stupid CCAF already
9. Try a 5 day cleanse (!)
10. Learn to knit-- complete at least one project (haha I'm getting so domestic)
11. Go horseback riding
12. meditate :)
