52 weeks (of choosing joy and making changes)

December 28
 

with 2012 fast approaching and 2011 finally coming to a close* i am excited to make the new year as awesome as possible!  therefore, my new year’s “resolution” is to choose joy no matter what.  how will i reach such a lofty goal, you may ask?  well, taking an idea from a high school friend and tweaking it just a little bit, i have decided to focus on a different task/project/what-have-you each week in 2012.  how convenient that day 1 of the new year is on a sunday, eh?  love it! :-)  anyway!  my plan is to sit down each tuesday of the preceding week (at the very latest) and plan 1 thing to accomplish by 11:59pm saturday of the following week.  my first week of the new year, i will be starting the year with a blank slate by organizing my living space.  i’m going to purge my belongings, figure out what stays and what goes, and begin 2012 in a clean and peaceful environment.  other ideas i’ve been throwing around for the weeks to come are: sign up for a continuing ed class (such as something in the IT field, another language class, etc), study french each day this week, practice my guitar for at least x amount of time each day this week, make a gift for someone who’s been on my heart this week, etc…

i’m super pumped to start this year off right, and i think that 52 weeks will help me do so!

so tell me, what are YOUR goals for 2012?
