In 2011...

Dear Diary,

Today is New Year's Eve. And I'm deciding on a resolution. But, the things that are swimming around in my brain aren't really resolutions, they are more like a list of wants for the year. And so that's what you're going to get mine diary. My list of "wants" for the year. (And maybe a resolution or two just to mix it up.)

In 2011

I want to..

Have more adventures.

laugh more,

sing more,

dance more,

art more,

craft more,

cook more,

bake more,

take Marafication to a whole new level,

have a picnic on a roof,

swim in both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans,

ride a train,

rekindle old friendships that have fallen by the wayside,

take more pictures,

make new friends,

meet at least 10 new interesting people,

go to the zoo,

go to the aquarium,

go sing karaoke,

be less afraid,

be bolder,

write more,

send and receive more letters,

play tag in the dark,

lay out underneath the stars,

make a wreath of daisies,

make a secret code,

go dancing,

go tagging,

make a mural,

break some rules,

smile more,

worry less,

eat more chocolate,

volunteer more,

go to mass more,

audition for a play,

go caroling,

go on a road trip,

visit Canada,

try new and exotic foods,

go camping,

learn to read tea leaves,

practice tarot more,

say hello to more strangers,

have a LOTR marathon,

dress up for Halloween,

put up decorations every holiday,

wear outrageous outfits,

turn heads,

eat frozen yogurt,

buy organic,

recycle more,

egg a car,

toilet paper a house,

scrapbook,

eat fresh fruit under a tree,

read more good books,

discover new places,

learn to juggle,

paint more,

watch less TV,

loose a little weight,

eat less fast food,

use wisdom more,

and take deeper breaths.

With love,

Mara
