I love the idea of a New Year’s Resolution. Setting goals is a huge part of being human. Goals further one’s self and build confidence not only in yourself but in others. Allow me to elaborate; everyday we set goals that allow us to get through the day, things as simple as making a list or accomplishing tasks at work. Goals don’t have to be huge, planned out schemes, they can be simple things like ; write a thank you card, plant the front flower pots, knit a gift for someone special; and when you accomplish these things, they make you feel good and confident in your abilities. This confidence translates to others, they are either recipients of the goal or onlookers, either way they are influenced by the act and it usually motivates them to set simple goals.

Otto's latest trick is to "stand" everytime he does it he stretches higher and balances a little longer.

What I’m trying to say is, keep it simple. I think the simple goals go way further. As for a New Year’s Resolutions the title itself can be daunting, but if you can find one that can be broken down into simpler goals it can be very rewarding.  This year my goal is to blog at least once a week. Now that may mean I do 5 blog posts in a week but then skip a couple of weeks of blogging. By this time 2011, I will have at least 52 new posts, simple right?

I wish you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
