Resolutions for the New Year

New Year's resolutions have seemed a bit contrived to me in the past couple years. However, this year there really are things I want to work on, and the new year just provides a solid deadline to implement them.

First is sticking to a budget. I've written out a preliminary budget for Brent and myself, and it should be fairly easy to stay within as long as we are cognisant of what we are spending. The result will be a lot more saving up than we've been doing, because we know exactly how much we need to spend.

Second is keeping in touch with friends. It seems that this time of year reminds me of all the folks who are far away. It also brings on a lot of guilt for not keeping in touch. I'm going to try to implement a round letter or something, so that I stay in regular touch with folks, rather than just emailing or calling them out of the blue when something comes up.

We'll see how these pan out!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!
