My resolutions are like my cosmic helping of fruit and vegetables. I know they're good for me, but they can be hard to swallow. Losing weight, volunteering more and not setting the oven mitts on the red hot burner are a few ongoing issues I've attempted to tackle on January 1st.
I have much better luck with my birthday goals, because if my resolutions are the salad with dressing on the side, then my birthday goals are all about the dessert -- and I've never had problems saying YES to dessert.
Some of my birthday goals are really just random offerings from my bigger list, comprised of things I want to do before I die. (Know that when I do check out as a result of extremely old age, my boyfriend will be so devastated he'll have to drop out of college).
Life is too short to always wear a bathing suit when swimming, and it never hurts to remind myself of this on my birthday. In no particular order, my Birthday Goal List for My 31st Year:
- Learn to salsa
- Own more lingerie
- Make sure said lingerie is actually seen in action by another human being
- Stay in touch
- Finish my %$#@ MBA application
- Run 5K
- Begin saving for retirement
- Go somewhere requiring a passport
- Get a passport
- Smile at strangers
- Walk a dog
- Pick sand out of my bathing suit
Some are easy, some are harder than you'd think but I'm just going to get started on my yearly dessert. Right after lunch.
