Instead of making resolutions, I list what I want to do in the New Year. It's important that it not be the "ought" list, but the "want" list.

Things I want to do this year:
Learn how to do at least three things that are new to me. I really believe that learning new things is good for the heart and soul.
- Learn about fabric design.
- Learn about screen-printing
- Learn how to convert a PDF book to a print-on-demand book through Amazon.
- Learn to build a piece of furniture.
Design a doll pattern that would be a fun one for mothers and grandmothers to make for kids.
Complete some projects begun in 2011

Your list has inspired me to make my own. I love learning new things, so I'll start there. God bless you.
