Tradition Tradition!

It's tradition to make resolutions each year and I vowed that I wouldn't bore anyone by posting them but after listening to talk radio all day and having it beat into my head that resolutions don't happen unless they are written, I am going back on my vow and posting them anyway. Here they are:
I am going to send a Birthday card to all of Peter's family during their Birthday month this year. This is no small task when you realize he has 13 siblings, most of whom are married with kids, and even one great nephew. So, wish me luck and pray the cost of postage doesn't go up this year.
I just finished knitting my first baby blanket (though Peter insists that it is closer to a knit towel-- I will post pictures as soon as possible) and my new resolution is to finish knitting the blessing dress for our baby GIRL that is due in March.
I have also been reading one of the greatest books ever written, The Holy Secret, and it has really inspired me to be a more humble person. So, I want to use extreme caution and not speak ill of other people. I don't think I have a big problem with this but I want to be awesome at it. So, if you hear me saying anything about anyone, that isn't nice, remind me to keep my mouth shut.
Last but not least, I'm not going to play Spider Solitaire all year. You would be sick at how much of my life has been wasted on this stupid game. So, I have deleted it from my computer and hope to NOT find a replacement.
They don't sound like much but I'm doing baby steps. So that is what I am working on for now. If anyone gets a chance, I would love to hear what resolutions they have made!

I love your resolutions. I can't wait to read my copy of the book. I hope it gets here soon.
My resolutions are:

this year I will carry a baby inside me.

this year I will spend some time breathing. Not the usual breathing but the more deep breathing.

I'd come up with more but I think I have my hands full with these two.

I haven't made any yet. I haven't been great at keeping them the last few years so I'm a little discouraged. Maybe I should try not to get so obsessed with fictional stories! Too bad I've already broken it with a new book series. Oh well.

I like your resolutions, you're pretty ambitious but I'm sure you'll keep them. And now I'm inspired to make some of my own!
