Resolutions.




Click photos for sources.

So I have been thinking about New Year's Resolutions and how every year we seem to be making goals for ourselves, which in the end seems to be repeated years to come. So my question is, why are we so motivated at the start of the year and then get discouraged and completely forget our goals? Seems to me like New Year's Resolutions don't always stick (could just be me, I don't know) and the things we wanted to change, we fall back into the same pattern again.

This year, I really want it to be different. I am not sure how, but I know it needs to be different, as I don't want to repeat every year's resolutions. So here goes, my list for the year:

-Love more. Excessive, abundant love.
-Give more. My husband is the most generous guy. So want to be like him :)
-Be happier. What a difference this makes to the outcome of a day!
-Read more. I've almost finished both books I set out to read last year, so need to do the same this year.
-Go horseback riding on the beach.
-Get into designing and crafting my own range of dot dot dot (could be bags, jewellery, shirts, dresses, shoes, books....I don't know yet!)
-Do a tramp up a mountain.
-Redecorate my house.
-Take more photos. And hopefully buy some more cameras too!
-Book a holiday in Queenstown again.


That's just a few I suppose, I guess there are many more things I would love to accomplish next year :) Who else has already made a list or do lists? Any of you that don't make a list? So curious to know your thoughts! Anyway, tomorrow is the husband and I's three year anniversary so will be away to share a day away with the babe.

  5. Resolutions are tough to make and sometimes tougher to keep! You have to keep them reasonable and attainable and yours are beautifully done.

  8. My resolutions are pretty defined, but that's probably the only way I'll keep them. I plan to post on my blog every day, take a picture and upload on my tumblr every day for 365 project, and take part in something called Project Restyle (link on my blog). I might just have to add a few of yours to my list as well ;). The photos for this post are lovely, I especially love the banner in the first one.
