2011- Oh to Keep A Resolution

A whole year has flown by

and with it many important changes have occurred in my life.

II got married to the best man in the world.

I completed my BA degree in Dance.

I moved to Arizona.

I started working with a phenomenal dance company.

Along with these changes I had also been working on keeping

my 2010 resolution.

Now I have not been one to even make new year resolutions.

I am honest with myself knowing that I won't even last a week

before I break my goal.

But last year was a bit different.

I came up with one that I really wanted to do,

and that didn't require me to do it everyday.

My goal last year was to write and mail

a thank you card every week to someone.

Despite only missing a few weeks here or there,

I can say I successfully completed my goal.

I am going to keep doing this because I enjoy it so much.

(and I have an excuse to buy cute thank you cards)

Discovering that in fact I could actually keep a resolution,

I decided to take a whack at it again this year.

I am going to read all of Jane Austen's works.

I have had in my possession for many years all of her books,

but have never gotten around to reading them.

I have watched all the movies based on her books many times

and now it is time to step up and read those books.

I have a confession to make.

I thought up this resolution a month ago

and was so excited by the idea that I actually started

reading "Persuasion" in December.

It's going so swimmingly

that I am sure this is a resolution that I intend to

and will most definitely keep.

What are your resolutions this year for 2011?
