2015: A New Year, A New Start


So here it is- the obligatory resolutions blog post that we’ve all been dreading yet secretly hoping for.  Because yes, we all want to know that everyone else also gave up by mid-March in losing that 30+ pounds and stopped eating a healthier diet.  Or saving money.  Or whatever it was that you planned on doing in the New Year. 

If you read last year's post, you’ll know that I listed out resolutions that I wanted to achieve.  And I will be the first to admit that I was not successful in all of them.  Sure, I made progress in some, failed in others, but that doesn’t matter.  I made an effort to better myself.  To be perfectly honest, I hate the idea of “New Year’s Resolutions.”  Why does the turn of a page in a calendar dictate that I need to decide to change my bad habits?  Because for the majority of the population, that’s what resolutions are. 

So instead of making a list of things that I will only half commit to and forget by next week, I am deciding to do one thing- recommit myself to this blog.  Which, ironically enough started out as a New Year’s Resolution.  I’ll post a couple of old posts below so you can see where this all began!

This blog started three years ago now.  I can’t believe that.  It seems to have flown by.  I was a completely different person then.  I was a junior in college (JMU DUKES!), in a crazy roommate situation, and I hadn’t even met Brittany yet.  Brittany and I are inseparable now (or we would be if we lived close).  And when my blog launched, I had just gotten Charlie as a Christmas present, but he’s not here anymore.  Anyways, things change.

What are your own resolutions or commitments for the New Year?  Let me know in the comments below?  Are you for or against them? 

Here are some posts from the very beginning of it all, and ones posted in the beginning of 2014.  Enjoy!


Until Next Time, Happy Reading! And Happy New Year!
