How did I do on the goals I was supposed to be working on in 2011? I thought this would be a good time to take stock and reflect on how things have gone.
1. Become healthier. I think I did fairly well on this one! I started running, and I didn't give up. In fact, I went running today! I also signed up for a race and ran it last year. And I started doing yoga a few times a week. Ben tells me I seem "healthier" and "less hunched over." I guess I will take that as a compliment.
2. Relearn how to swim. Fail, a miserable fail! I haven't even been in a pool since I wrote these words. This one definitely needs some work.
3. Knit a baby sweater. Again, a big fat fail. I actually tried to start on this one, kind of half-heartedly I admit. I ran into trouble and gave up. I think I will switch to an easier pattern and give it another try.
4. Make time for friends. Hmmm, I don't think I have done very well on this one either. Poop.
5. Get organized. Argggh. No progress on this front.
6. Do one new thing a week. Hmmm. I don't think I've nailed it every week, but at least this isn't the miserable failure that most of my goals were. I will try to ratchet it up, but I'm fairly happy with my record for trying new things.
Wow, now that I look back, I realize that I didn't do all that well on my goals! I don't even remember writing some of these. Get organized? Did I really say that? Oh well, I will concentrate on the ones that worked out. They eat up a lot of my time! And I do think they have made my life better. To an even better life in 2012!

I think your happiness project was amazing. I keep my resolutions year after year it feels like. The best part of doing your project was you sounded more like your old self. I guess with doing things for yourself you feel better and everyone else gets to do the fun stuff with you.
Any how I felt like you are getting back to where you should be. You guys had a few hard years in there. I hope 2012 is good for all.
