Wow! It is January 22 already. January 2012 is almost over. Every week I think about posting a new blog, but time is always slipping away.
Well...I'm hoping this year is different. About 3 times a year, I make new goals. I don't believe in New Years Resolutions anymore. I read an article about 5 years ago that said that most people don't think of the word "resolution" as a positive word. So, every year at the new year, I make New Years Goals. I also make Summer Goals and Back to School Goals. I have made 12 goals this year and so far, I have followed about half of them. Most of the goals I have kept so far have to deal with writing. Even though I am a math teacher, I really enjoy writing. Whether it is in a journal, on this blog or trying my hand a fiction. Journal writing has always been my favorite type of writing. I have been keeping a journal since I was in 8th grade. For the past 5 years, I also start a new journal at the beginning of the year whether or not I am finished filling the pages from the previous year (another suggestion from that same article from above). It always feels so wonderful to start on a new clean journal each and every year. Hopefully, I will have at least 12 entries from 2012!
