Okay, I forgot to take pictures today - so enjoy this latte art instead. My friends and I meet twice a week at a local coffee house, and the baristas are always trying to out-do each other with their latte art. I had a cool one once that has a leaf like the one above - but it was within a heart... and unfortunately, I couldn't document it because I didn't have my camera with me.
Which brings me to the title of this post -
Perseverance and Challenges.
I hate the word 'resolution' - I think it has lost some of its meaning and has become something unrealistic and something people only pay lip service to. I like challenge and perserverance better - both things I feel I have more control over.
In 2010, I persevere
- To continue working on my health, by eating better, exercising frequently, and having a positive self-image. In 2009 I managed to lose 40 pounds, and I am very happy with that.
In 2010, I challenge myself to
- Take better pictures. Most of the time when I take pictures, they are rushed affairs, just me trying to take a snapshot so I can get a blog post up. Some blogs I read have absolutely beautiful photography and I am horribly jealous.
- Keep on top of my finished objects. You probably think I don't knit that much (and Andrew and Willow will tell you very differently) by the amount of finished objects I post. Hell, I finished my cabled vest before I went to Stitches East in October and I still haven't taken pictures of myself in it yet.
- Read at least one non-fiction book a month. This one will make my father-in-law happy - I know he just shakes his head at all the sci-fi and romance novels I read. *NOT* that there is anything wrong with those kinds of books - I am a grown up and I can read whatever on earth I please - but I am feeling the need to branch out.
- Finish 12 Christmas presents throughout the course of the year. This may be by knitting or using my nascent sewing skills - or perhaps something else altogether - but I really like the idea of making at least some of my Christmas presents.
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!
I do too! Especially the flower ones! :) Great goals!
I dont like the word resolution either. Maybe thats why I dont like to make any. But challenge I can handle.
That makes it sound fun. Good luck.
Girlfriend, you can do anything you wanna do. Just make it a happy one!
Hey, want to do a non-fiction readalong? I need to read some too (in addition to work stuff... but I doubt that many people want to read programming/computer/knowledge architecture books for fun).
Oh, and there's nothing wrong with your pictures. : )
As much as I rib Dr. MS for his "pulp fiction" reading (scifi and John-Grisham-more-lawyer-crap-esque novels...) reading IS reading! Which is more than A LOT of people can say, sadly!
