via thresca

a look back at my new year's resolutions from last year; how successful was i? hmmm.

1. stop hitting the snooze button on my alarm. - this one didn't work out too well.
2. get out and do more things that make me happy. - i did
3. try my best to complain less. - hmmm. still working on this one.
4. smile more. - i believe i did.
5. finish the books accumulating in my “to read” pile. - doesn't seem to diminish since i keep adding to it.
6. i will enjoy life more. - i have.
7. i will get organized. - i have not.
8. eat healthier. - everything in moderation. lol.
9. buy a vintage schwinn, and bike ride regularly. - i realized living in a not so "nice" area, doesn't really give me much opportunity for bike riding... so this is a negative.
10. learn how to speak some basic french & Italian. - definitely need it for this year. fingers crossed.
11. start painting & drawing again. - done.
12. finish spare room/office. - rolling this over to the new year. still haven't committed to what i want done in that room.
13. SAVE! SAVE! SAVE! - major fail. lol.
14. learn to sew. - no sewing machine = no sewing. working on this one.
15. travel to places i’ve never been. - i did.
16. take more pictures [experiment more]. - did that too.
17. start writing again. - lack of inspirations, i think they call it "writer's" block.
18. get my puppy! - changed my mind after dog sitting this summer. think i'll wait a while before doing this one.
19. finish what i start. - not sure about... ;]
20. find something completely unique or completely forgotten & use it as inspiration. - done.
21. stop staring at my feet when i walk. - tough one. still working on it.
22. go see more local bands & concerts. - definitely did this one.
23. have an amazing/creative 28th birthday. [maybe rent out a skating rink?] - fail.
24. make the shelving in my bedroom closet functional. - in progress.
25. buy a pair of TOMS shoes. - bought 3.
26. go outside of my comfort zone more. - done to a degree.
27. STOP PROCRASTINATING. - don't know that this will ever happen.
28. keep making to-do lists. - did, AND do.
29. embrace old traditions and have a blast creating new ones. - this was done.
30. try every creative medium i possibly can. - tried some new ones.
31. tell people i love that i love them, more often. - don't think i've ever had an issue with doing this one.
32. stop worrying and being so anxious about the unknown. the adventure is in the spontaneity. - i'm still a worry wart.
33. recycle and donate as much as possible. - probably not as much as possible; could've done more.
34. randomly send little gifts/cards to my favorite people. - yup. rolling this one over to the new year.
35. laugh at least once a day. [this is absolutely crucial]. - successful.
