Belated New Years

I wrote my New Years Resolutions today. I'm a little late, but it's tradition so I made time when I could. Ever since I was like 10 years old I would write predictions or goals for the next year on scraps of note paper and put them in this ugly paper maché jar with burlap covering the top. Random? yes. Sunday school craft? probably. Anyways, I would write the coming year on the burlap and then place the jar in my desk drawer until the next year. Honestly, I've never peeked. Each year I would re-read the pieces of paper. Any that held predictions that came true or goals that were met were smiled upon and then discarded. Any other goals that I still wanted to achieve went back into the jar with the new additions for that year. This year I happily threw away over half of the papers in the jar. I accomplished some things this year, and it's just satisfying to recognize that.
