Although I always make New Year’s resolutions, I don’t usually share them with any one. They are carefully written in my journal for no one’s eyes but my own. But this November, when I signed up for National Novel Writing month, I blogged about it here, I updated my status on facebook, and told my friends and colleagues. After making my resolution so public, and with so much encouragement along the way, I knew I had to finish, even when swine flu overtook me in the final week.

So I have decided to share some resolutions here that have to do with the areas of my room:

1) Revise and finish the novel I drafted in November.
2) Get back into scrapbooking including scrapping the wonderful Betsy-Tacy convention I attended in July and a Disney Christmas album, and keeping my scrapbook calendar up to date (the 2008 calendar ended in January).
3) Read more – I stopped reading on the bus when I was writing my novel, and haven’t resumed since. I have a stack of books and many loaded on my Kindle just waiting for me to devour.
4) Blog more regularly – including progress on the above.

Hopefully these public resolutions will keep me accountable, without my having to divulge my weight or any diet and exercise plans.
