2005 was a year of changes both modest and personally staggering (2004 more so, at least we’re moving in the right direction). As New Year’s wound around, I made time to reflect and found that my goals haven’t really changed much. Still working on getting at least 3 bouts of exercise each week; added the goal of eating 3 big green salads. Still reading at least 1 book for fun each month, and still trying to test 3 new recipes each month. Not much to declutter now, so I’m trying to meditate a couple of times a week, thanks to Merlin’s advocacy.

Other modest changes that aren’t really tied to concrete goals: Being choosier about how I spend my time. My mantra in 2006 is “don’t force it”. I believe the steady application of these two principles will bring the bigger challenges down to their level.
