Welcome 2011/Resoultion #1

My son did a better job of welcoming the New Year than I did. I was asleep by 10pm. Granted we had been in the car all day and I had a headache but still. I celebrated all out on the 1st. We went to the WINTER CLASSIC!! It was a great experience and one I will never forget. It's something that was on my "bucket list" and I will never forget that day :-)

I didn't make a resolution this year. I sometimes do but not this year. Whether it was all the excitement of the Classic, all the things on my mind or just the fact that there were so many things I wanted to do this year that I couldn't pick just one. So here is what I was thinking: how about one resolution a month? Maybe by the end of the year I will accomplish one or two but I don't have to pick just one to focus on. I was on my facebook page and my aunt had posted something that kind of spoke to one of the things I had on my mind so why not start with that? I want to do more nice things for people, kind of "pay it forward" I always think of things that I should have done and then regret that I didn't so I'm going to change that. So here's what my aunt's status said:

Pay it forward 2011. I will send something handmade to the first 5 people to comment on this status. To be eligible, you must also post this to your status offering the same to 5 other people. Items will be delivered sometime in 2011. Ready, set, go!

How cool is that? Not only do I get to be creative but I get to share what I create! Whether it be a picture, a hat or scarf or something else, I get to "pay it forward" and give people an unexpected gift sometime during the year.. I'm kind of excited to get started on this! Plus, it will give me a chance to come up with Resolution #2.
