Hindsight is 20/20, but who cares how great your vision is if you’re walking backwards?
I’m not one for resolutions. I frequently make goals, get excited about them, and then forget about them. It’s not that I procrastinate or get lazy, I literally forget if they’re not right in front of me. So I will make a short list and I will write it on a few pieces of paper and keep it with me in my purse and put it on my wall and in my car, so that I will not be able to forget.
Here it is. 20 11’s.
2011 will be the year I

Mostly, when I look forward into the new year I want:
to be a better friend. to be more generous. to adventure more. to be more carefree. to be more deliberate. to be more Stephanie Orefice than I have ever been before.
Your turn.
I. Love. This.
OK so this is getting ridiculous now because I am commenting on like every other post. But I had to tell you this cos it’s relevant: my friend told me she was going to use something she learnt at work to help her make her resolutions – basically, they all have to be SMART: Specific, Moderate, Achievable, Realistic and Timely(ie you specify a time period in which you achieve them). I’m going to use that to think of my own resolutions for 2011. Haven’t done it yet though. Maybe one should be to procrastinate less..?!
Visit SOUTH CAROLINA!! We can have an entire meal of stereotypical southern food, haha 🙂
