Try To ___ This Year

This is a boring post.

I am just posting a couple of thoughts for 2012, might they be called resolutions?

Well, okay, yeah I guess they could be called that.

1.  I am going to think about the food I eat, meaning a bit more careful about the sweet stuff, the greasy stuff and the highly processed stuff....

2.  I am going to work on using the water colour pencils I bought a few months back and have barely opened, except to discover that watercolours work best on watercolour paper.  So I have to go get some of that to actually paint a picture...

3.  I am going to make a list of my DVD's so that I can remember to watch some of the movies I have sitting on the shelves, instead of renting or "on demanding" movies...

4.  I am going to set aside a few dollars -- into a savings account - and plan a trip.  I think I would like to go to the South of the USA, Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisianna, Florida -- I particularly want to ride on a Paddlewheel boat on the Mississippi and go to New Orleans.

Thats my list.

Oh, and a word of the year -- I did not post last years word, but I do think I accomplished it to some extent -- the word was Recovery.

Now this year I am thinking the word to strive for is Robust!

PS - I wanted to add that a comment from another person (it was actually a tweet) who says that making resolutions are an admission of impending failure...
What do you think about that thought?  Now you know I have to put my 2 bits in on that -- I think that failure is part of life and we learn most and best by failing and trying again.  If a person is afraid to admit they failed at an endeavour, could you or would you trust that person?  A perfectionist even has to fail, maybe more times that you know, to get to the point of perfection. 

Have you thought of any new goals?
