no resolutions here

'Tis the season...for blog posts full of years in review followed by resolutions. You will find neither of those things here.

First - no year in review because I'm too lazy to do the year in review. And if you're actually interested in seeing my posts from last year, there's a handy dandy archive bar to the right ------------------------>
Sure, I have a few favourite experiences in the last year, it was both a good and a challenging year, but I'll just re-cap it in my mind and save you the trouble :)

Second - no resolutions because I don't make them. I don't make them because I feel like I'd be setting myself up for failure. Lofty random resolutions don't work for me. I can't just resolve to "lose weight" or "become more active." I need to set small goals and make plans in order to get there. So yes - I have some things in mind that I'd like to achieve in the next year - but no resolutions.

Now that you know what won't be showing up - here's what will be here: my favourite pictures, stories, and experiences of the year to come. I had thought about just fading off the radar after my extended Christmas blogging break, but here I am, back and ready to blog. And I'll finish the post with a few of my favourite pictures from the holidays.
