new year's goal


January 1


Jan. 2


Jan. 3


Jan. 4

I try not to make New Year's Resolutions but this year I wanted to have a goal for myself that I knew I could meet.  I would like to say I will lose 15 pounds this year, but that isn't going to happen, so I am trying something that I know I can do.  It will be a bit of a challenge, but I am willing to take it and I know I can do it.  

My goal for the year 2012 is to take at least one picture a day.  It won't always be of my kids (don't worry) and some days I will take tons more than just one.  However, one a day is all I am challenging myself to take.  It can be of anything or anyone.  I am also going to try and find a basic course in photography that will teach me how to take better pictures.  Hopefully as the year goes on and I look back at the pictures I took in Jan, I will have much better pictures later in the year.

So..there ya go.  That is my goal for 2012.   One of them at least.  I would also like to take more time to STOP and just live in the moment and not the next week.  I don't know what each day holds and I want to take every day and make 2012 a great year for my family!    Happy New Year!

I've done a picture a day for two years now and love looking back at them. I occasionally miss a day, but I don't let this bother me.
