2011 here I come

I won't lie, the last couple of years have been very stressful.  My mother had a massive stroke.  Then I lost two of my grandparents.  I also got married and had a baby in that time. 

It's not really surprising that I haven't been feeling very happy for the last several months and I feel those effects both mentally and physically.  But, this isn't (completely) meant to be a pity post :-)

One day, while browsing Amazon, I came across a book called The Happiness Project.  I'm not 100% in love with it, but I found it inspiring.  The author decided to try to increase her happiness by undetaking certain resolutions and trying new things. 

So, inspired by that book and several others, I am setting myself a series of resolutions.  I'm hoping that by keeping this blog, I'll keep myself accountable.  I'd like to post most days of the week, so I'm figured I'd split my resolutions into 7 broad categories.  Within each category, I may have several specific resolutions.  Of course, since this is my life and my blog, I reserve the right to revise this list as I go :-)

My Seven Resolutions:
1.  Mind
2.  Body
3.  Love
4.  Home and Organization
5.  Friends and Family
6.  Spending and Saving
7.  Creativity
