start small, small steps, the small stuff

I am always making plans, resolutions, whatever you want to call them. Usually they are ambitious and don't last long. Since I always seem to be somewhat obsessively strategizing about how to better myself, New Year's Resolutions have not typically had much importance to me. Of course, I get swept up in the tide and am hoping to lose weight, stop procrastinating, figure out my life . . . among other lofty goals that will probably always come and go in my life. However, I came across this site today http://www.happiness-project.com/. I looked at it only quickly, but really responded to the idea of making one very simple, attainable, positive "resolution." So, I have decided to try and start doing something I always mean to, but forget. Every time I go grocery shopping I plan to buy one small thing to put in those collection bins at the exit--that I always guitlily pass--for the food shelf. I even hope to start talking to Joseph about this and involve him in picking out the goods. If I let him choose it will probably be mac n' cheese every time . . .

That's the plan.

Happy New Years all! Any resolutions to share?
