Friday Five: New Year's Resolutions

This week, Sally gives us a great Friday Five. (I'm actually prepared for this one!!!)

Well it had to be didn't it, love them or hate them I bet you've been asked about New Year resolutions. So with no more fuss here is this weeks Friday Five;

1. Do you make New Year resolutions?
Mr. M and I both do. This year, we started a new tradition that I'm super-excited about. Because we both get New Year's Day off, we've decided that's Visioning Day. This year we observed it by going to the Philadelphia Museum of Art for the day. We had a plan: We each started with a list of catagories in our lives (family, marriage, work, play, exercise, etc). We split up in the morning, each roaming through the parts of the museum that most interested us, and journaling as we went about how we felt called to grow in each of those catagories. We met up for lunch, and then spent the afternoon showing each other the things we'd most enjoyed. That's how the Ms make resolutions! (Or lay the groundwork, anyway!)

2. Is this something you take seriously, or is it a bit of fun?
Both. I think I'll be better able to take it seriously because I have fun with it.

3. Share one goal for 2008.
To stop multitasking so much, esp at work. I want to create my schedule so that I can focus on one thing at a time (when possible). I think this will really bring down my stress level.

4. Money is no barrier, share one wild/ impossible dream for 2008
This is going to be the year we finally take our honeymoon! (Actually, we've been stowing away about $20/week for some time. This really will be the year!)

5. Someone wants to publish a story of your year in 2008, what will the title of that book be?
