New Year; New Resolutions?

This year, I resolve to be better at posting regularly! See below for the stack of knitting I have yet to post about; there are two finished and unblocked pieces not included, as well as my current knitting project. Whoops.

It's been a kinda tough year (again). My dad's mom died in early November of a stroke. I saw her in late August/early September for my cousin's wedding, and we (almost the entire family - cousins, spouses, aunts, uncles, great-grands) all had a pretty grand time in West Texas celebrating the couple. The whole family got together again in November, which despite the circumstances, was lovely. I got to meet my new first-cousin-once-removed S, and spent a lot of time with L, the older sib - a big girl of 3.

So I am ready for this new year. I've brushed off last year's resolutions and am re-using some of them. I am making some new resolutions. In no particular order, they are:

• post regularly here
• floss my teeth
• be outside and active more
• eat more vegetables
• try new recipes
• keeping in better touch with friends
• be more social; don't feel guilty about being introverted

Happy new year to you! Best of luck in it!

(PS. You can see me wearing one of my knitting projects in the photo of L and me!)
