When my daughter was younger, she loved to make New Year's "Revolutions". Interestingly, she always phrased them in the affirmative. "I'm going to eat more cookies!" or "This year, I'm going to draw more." I wonder at what in point in life our resolutions morph from the affirmative to the negative?
So, this year in stead of making negative resolutions, I'm going to make affirmative revolutions.
My 2012 New Year's Revolutions
I will try to cook one new recipe per week.
I will volunteer more time in my community.
I will support local businesses and eat local foods whenever possible.
I will finish unfinished projects before I embark on new projects.
I will try to make what I could otherwise buy (except clothes, that would be really scary.)
What are your revolutions for 2012?
Have a safe and happy new year!
