New Year Resolutions, of course :)

It started out as a normal day, but on the eve of the New Year, I find myself pondering over the year gone by, and what I want to do in the coming year. Like everyone, I want to accomplish a lot more in the next year. Here's a list of what I would like to do:
- Read good, inspirational books that I can learn from.
- Write a journal, maybe a guided one to start with, that includes a section to track good deeds (and negative ones to conquer).
- Stay in touch with more people - via phone calls, emails, fb, whatsapp - any medium
- Learn something new - with focus on one topic at a time. Learn the way I did while growing up, with a time-table to track progress, and challenging tests. If I take a course, I want to set a stopping time for it,
- Pursue a hobby - drawing, crafts, dancing... Include kids in this too
- Spend time one on one with each kid
- Be organized with kids - set boundaries and keep them
- Stop hoarding and do some de-cluttering
- Have a game night with the kids, and planned activities to do with them
- Make time for date nights with hubby - maybe every friday night
- Spend some nights watching fav shows with hubby - and discuss them
- Have some peaceful family dinners or breakfast.
- Exercise - make it happen - make a plan - and stick to it.
- Watch game shows with kids, maybe at dinner!
- And of course, lose weight!

Post note: I did start working out using the Kinect Biggest Loser Game on 1/2. There's hope yet...
