Mostly, because I hate doing anything just because somebody tells me to. I don't like working on a forced schedule, or making promises I don't intend to keep. Also, I don't have anything I feel the need to give up. I don't smoke, or drink alcohol, and I think everyone agrees that the world is a better place if I drink my coffee... I am also not interested in knowing how much I weigh, so losing weight is not a priority. I eat my veg, thank you very much, and drink water like only a breastfeeding mother can (read: by a bucket load). Did I cover all the usual ones?
Therefore, at New Year I like to think of all the nice things that happened during the year gone by. I also like to remind myself to continue doing those things that bring me happiness, but notice them more. So this year we will be taking part in the 150 hours outside challenge (Read more about it here). The time is not the main challenge for me, but taking pictures and having those to enjoy next new year. So far in the last five days we have clocked up 6 and a half hours, and enjoyed every minute.
I even remembered to bring a camera for today's walk!
My other promise to myself is to read at least 13 books just for fun, in addition to the serious, grown-up reading list. Books that will more than likely have a vampire or a few will feature heavily. Maybe a little zombie here and there. You know, educational stuff... And I will enjoy every page, guilt free!
What are you looking forward to this year? Did you make any resolutions?
