New Year, Less Neglected

The last half of 2011 got away from Morgan and me, I'd have to say. We both went to California for a few days in August, then Morgan went alone to Belgium in October for two weeks. After that, I don't even know, it just turned into the holidays and all of a sudden we're sitting here in 2012. I guess that's how it always goes at the end of the year, though.

I'm not much of a resolution-maker, particularly not at the beginning of the year. I tend to just decide that something needs to be done and start doing it. And I don't like to really make anything public until I've started to establish a habit. I've read things on both sides of the "making it public" debate - some that say having other people support you helps you achieve your goals and some that say the act of saying publicly that you're going to do something gives you a feeling of accomplishment and you tend to fall behind after that. I dunno, either way it's just not my thing.

But I would like to blog again. I've missed it, honestly. I don't use Facebook to give updates on my life, and I don't do longer-form writing on Google+, so it just doesn't go anywhere at the moment. I haven't talked to Morgan about it, but I'm hoping he'll be interested in picking it up again too because reading each other's writing has been a good experience.

I've been really busy recently and haven't had a lot of time for hobbies, but I'm trying to do a "creative-endeavor-a-day" project for the 366 days of 2012 (didn't I just say I don't do resolutions timed to the new year? Well, whatever.). I've tried one of these in the past and I don't think I made it very far, but this time I actually started taking daily photographs back at the end of November and have stuck with it since then (although I still need to do a photo for today).

So here we are in January. Soon it'll be my birthday, and then Morgan's, and in just a few months it'll be our first anniversary. Years seem so long until you're looking back on them.

Well, whatever resolutions you may have made or not made, I wish you all the best with them. Now I've got to go figure out something to take a picture of!
