Everyone else seems to be publicly posting their goals for 2012. Here we go.

Health

Santa very generously delivered a Nintendo Wii for Christmas, and I’m already hooked on Just Dance 3. It makes exercising effortless. I had no idea that a stupid little video system could be so spectacular. And useful. I feel lame and just plain old having not known about the Wii’s awesomeness. With daily use, I should have no problem getting back into my fighting weight, as I like to call it.

Homemade and Handmade

Knowing my predilection for DIY projects, my BFF gave me the most spectacular and inspirational book for Christmas, Make the Bread, Buy the Butter. (It’s the perfect gift for me and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to top it.) Baking and cooking projects won’t be a daily effort, but instead of just giving stuff to people, my family and friends should expect homemade and handmade treats for birthdays and other special occasions. I hope to ask myself, “could I make it, instead?” before buying or otherwise acquiring anything.

Reading

Stay on track with my reading goals with Goodreads. I’ve got mostly non-fiction lined up, but will have to make it through the Stig Larsen “Girl” series at some point.

Friends and Family

I think the same thing each time the calendar turns, but in 2012 I will make spending time with people I like a priority.

There they are: simple and relatively easy to stick to. I’m not changing the world here, just nudging myself along to be a better me.
