2013 New Years Resolutions

Instead of just simply listing my goals, I want to also list some ideas I have for how to make myself accomplish them, and what I can do to build on them. I hope this helps me to see that I am making progress and keeping up with them through the year, and keeps me motivated!

""Let our New Year's resolution be this: we will be there for one another as fellow members of humanity, in the finest sense of the word."
