Resolutions??

Every year, as do thousands of other people gracing this planet with their presence, I sit down and write down my list of "New Year Resolutions." Every year I vow that the treadmill at the gym will be my friend, that I will drink more water, or be one more credit card out of debt...EVERY YEAR I vow that I will do ten times better "this year" than the previous year. And every year I find myself involved in other things by the time February rolls around! Seriously, resolutions and I do not coexist. I think they are great for those who stick with them...those that need the big moment to sit down and evaluate their lives and resolve to change it- however I see I design flaw in the process. For me, those goals are not achievable, because well, they are TOO BIG! Sure I'd love to run a marathon, but 12 weeks from now, I'm sure I will still be cursing the treadmill, and finding every other excuse on the planet NOT to do it. It is too big. However, the solution to this problem...I am hoping at least, since I am tired of being like millions of Americans who never achieve their goal, is to resolve to take baby steps. Instead of "this year I will" I think the resolution should be "for the next six weeks I will..." Baby steps. We heard that term a million times in the What About Bob movie...yet if you're like me, it takes your own little "aha" moment to realize, remember and act on it. I'm sure by now if you are still reading this, you are wondering WHEN I am going to reach the destination of this post. Let me help you out with that. First I will apologize for my ramblings- it is nearly 11p.m. I have been up late several nights in a row this past week and my brain is toast. That said:

My point is, I am not making "New Year Resolutions" this year. I am going back to the basics of the way I know things work, and starting with a small goal- that will eventually lead up to the big finish.

My goal for the next few weeks: One picture from my camera will be posted daily on the this crazy blog, to grow and cultivate the inner love of great photographs I have, and to also make my blog a little more interesting. How long with I do this? The big picture says all of 2010. The smaller picture says: for the next 6 weeks.

So here goes: Picture #1

Little Miss Reagan! She spent New Years Eve with us, along with her brothers and sister, stayed up ALL Night, and by 9:00 this morning, this is what we saw of her! I just wish she would've let me take a picture of her beautiful face too!
