Here’s one of my resolutions: to write on here way more often than I have been writing. And now, I shall tell you a story.
I went to a one week sleepaway camp in August. My counselor had this idea: each of us would write letters to our future selves, saying what our goals were for the coming year, and just giving ourselves advice, and then at random times during the year – when we’d have totally forgotten about them – she would send them to us. I got mine a couple weeks ago, and it was a real reminder to go for my goals. I also got to see what goals I’d accomplished, even though I’d forgotten about them. So, really, I made my new year’s resolutions in August.
I guess I’m going chronologically backwards, but my Christmas went really well! I got to see family and of course give & get gifts. My favorite, I think, were my new Uggs. My old ones, which I got for Christmas 2009, were size 4. I am now size 7. Definitely a welcome change!
As to what’s been going on with me, there’s a lot. We go back to school tomorrow; my camp friends and I are getting together next weekend for a slumber party & shopping (as we do every year since 2009); we got a new Kinect game and it’s really fun (except for the fact that they tell you how many calories you’ve burned after every sport, and honestly, it’s a little pathetic to see “Congratulations! You’ve burned seven calories!” on the screen after “skiing”); and the camp retreat is the weekend after that!! So yes, I’m pretty excited.
Good luck to all in the new year…it’s a blank canvas…so let’s paint!
I love “it’s a blank canvas.”
