New Years

So last night I had an epiphany that this new year I would like to try things that are out of my comfort zone. I'm way too cautious. I want to learn to snowboard. I want to go hiking (eek, maybe that will be later in the year). I want to go out more. I want to talk to strangers. I want to do something somewhat reckless... not too reckless, just a little bit. I haven't really figured out the reckless bit, yet. Maybe it's more that I want to be more spontaneous. I think that would be good for me... I'm pretty sure I set similar goals last year... Hmm...

Other goals:
Lose weight (as usual)
Get my dissertation ready to propose by the fall...
Be a better person
Love people more
Be more patient
Practice Piano daily
Start writing lyrics again
Work on my book (Guys are Idiots) - yes, it's going to be FABULOUS

That's all I've got for now. I'm not feeling very reflective at the moment. Perhaps I will amend this post later.

Happy New Year!

Okay! Hiking buddy! YAY! You will have to be patient with me! I suck at activities that involve walking, especially uphill - I fall down a lot, and my calves cramp up for some reason! But if you are willing to deal with me, then I am willing to learn!!!
