Each year, many of us come up with resolutions to make our lives somehow better. I have all sorts of resolutions that begin in January and end somewhere in November when the holiday buzz sucks away the energy for doing anything for myself.

Last year, I:

• lost 15 pounds by tracking my consumption and exercising, and I kept it off all year, until I gained three back in December;
• joined Toastmasters and have delivered one speech every month, except December;
• climbed a mountain;
• gave a wedding toast;
• built several WordPress websites;
• and generally had an eventful year.

This year, I am going to set only one goal: to be happy. I’m going to keep discovering what I love to do, and maybe I’ll write more about it. Being a big fan of WordPress, I’m tempted to resolve to follow the advice of other bloggers to get back into it with “postaday” and “postaweek,” but I’m not sure I can commit.

Instead, I’ll try to live my best life, and I hope that means sharing it.
