Dear 2011

Dear 2011,

I didn't do very well with completing your goals. I was thrown a bit of a curve ball with this whole baby thing but that doesn't account for couple of them not being completed. No need to lament not completing them. It is what it is... 

2011 New Year's Resolution #1: Send out thank you notes and birthday cards. 

This one was 50% completed. I did great with thank you notes but not birthday cards. I already have a plan to change this in 2012. I will conquer this one! 

2011 New Year's Resolution #2: Run 5 miles per week. 

This one wasn't completed due to Mr. JD. It will make a reappearance in 2012. 

2011 New Year's Resolution #5: Learn to crochet. 

I need to work through my anxiety/patience issues before I can revisit this one.

2011 New Year's Resolution #6: Make 2011's Christmas a homemade Christmas.

We made it 75% there one this one. I can't wait to show you all of the amazing gifts we made! 

2011 New Year's Resolution #3: Write and follow a weekly meal plan. 

By the end of the year I finally accomplished this one! It included starting to make pre-made meals but that just enhanced the experience and one that I will definitely be continuing. 

2011 New Year's Resolution #4: Make a quilt for the California king bed (finally). 

I think I want to go a different direction but it requires a bit of money. We'll have to wait a little on this one...

I am not mad at myself for how you went. A lot of really amazing things happened. I was given the gift of pregnancy, delivered a beautiful baby boy, got engaged to an amazing man, weeded out crappy unworthy friends and developed new friendships, strengthened existing ones and changed relationships in my family that I can't wait to see where they all go. 2011...you were good to me and my family. I appreciate all that you brought to me.

Love and appreciate you!

Kathy
