big plans for 2012

After much pondering, I have finally put together my 2012 resolutions.  I do not know what got up my knickers this year, usually I do not give resos a second thought; however, this year it was all I could think of.  I still feel like there is so much more that I want to add, but I fear that I would bore any readers to tears, so I made a private lengthier list for my viewing pleasure.  That is my first gift to you in 2012.  You’re welcome.  If I had to pick one reso that I want to concentrate on it would be to get out of my head and into the world.  Often times I think things to death and as a result I think myself right out of opportunities.  This problem rears its ugly head on a day-to-day basis with even the most mundane of tasks.  More importantly, my over thinking often stops me from participating social events. I am a bit of an introvert by nature; however, I am happiest among people, but it takes a silencing of my noggin’ to get myself among the living.  I know I would be so much happier if I would just get my fanny out there and quit thinking about it!  Thankfully I do not NEED to pick just one reso, I decided to elaborate on the above reso and here is what I came up.  Keep in mind this is still the condensed version.  Sweet Jesus I have high hopes for 2012.
