Last week I shared with you my list of resolutions for the new year. Some items were lofty, hard to measure goals, like become more outgoing, and forgive. Others were easy, straight forward. Either I’ll do it or I won’t. Things like: run, read, and drink more water fall into this bucket. Just to recap what I originally wrote down as my goals for 2012, let’s take a look:

• Run, walk, whatever. Just start moving.
• Drink water. Everyday.
• Read more. One book a month.
• Spend less. Save more. Period.
• Travel to new places. Travel internationally twice.
• Create an online photography store. Sell at least one of my own photos.
• Cook more creatively, use new recipes. Bake at least one new treat a month.
• Volunteer more frequently. Once a quarter.
• Forgive. A lot of people. Including myself.
• Become more outgoing. Speak up for myself.
• Dress boldly, accessorize freely. Let people judge.

But since I shared that post a few days, new ideas have been popping into my head, so I thought I’d add them into the mix. I may even start a goals page to keep track of my progress (and to be able to add new ideas as they come up).

• Lotion, lotion, lotion. I have neglected my skin for far too many years. It’s a simple task. Get out of the shower, apply lotion. Done.
• Wash my face nightly. Who isn’t guilty of taking the lazy route and just hopping into bed?
• Send more snail mail. Letters, cards or postcards. Doesn’t matter. Send birthday cards to all of my friends, send thank you notes following visits. Send cheerful encouragement to friends that are having a hard time.
• Get a photograph with the boyfriend at all of the major events. Can you believe we don’t have a single couples photo from Christmas?
• See my girlfriends more. My absolute best friend in the entire world lives in South Boston. And I’ve been to her apartment once. Just once, since she moved here. How absurd is that? Get together, have more dinner dates.
• Back up my photos on my external hard drive. Then back up my external hard drive on CDs. Then print out some of my favorites to save.

So there you have my resolutions, revisited. I like that a lot of my goals for 2012 are doable, they are realistic and rather simple. Things I just need to be more conscious of like drinking water, and lotioning, and other things that I just need to do. Things like taking a photo with the boyfriend at major holidays and writing thank you cards after visits!

What’d y’all put down as your goals for 2012? Any good ones I should take on as my own?
