Hey, I remembered! Check out
last year's thread and see what promises you kept...and which you're still working on.
Me:
Quote:
I'll continue to work on my interactions with others. There's still so much to learn about the nuances of friendship and teamwork, plus how to balance that with individuality.
I'll continue to work on thinking optimistically on all things, be they short or long term, in my control or not. I'll keep an eye out for the self-flagellation that undermines me and remember that not achieving a goal is punishment enough.
And, I RESOLVE to kill the perfectionist living in my head that loves to make everything look like garbage.

Things have gotten much better for me on these fronts, but they're issues I'll battle my whole life. I resolve to continue working on this stuff.
Of course, I kept my one New Year's resolution that I didn't post - to start a family.
It was definitely on my mind around this time last year. Took a few months to get things going...
It'd be far too easy to say that my resolution for 2010 is to have a healthy baby and do my best by him. I'll expand on that to say that I resolve to find others near us who have begun families and are cool enough to hang out with.
I resolve to do my best to not spiral in worry and perfectionism over my kid, but also to show him guidance and care in ways that will benefit him as much as possible. It's a fine line.
