Happy New Year Eventing Nation! Today we get to hang a new calendar on the wall and then spend the next three months rewriting checks after we accidentally date them to 2010. Like most holidays, New Year’s is just a reoccurring point in time on which sometime somewhere someone decided that we should all get together and celebrate something. But, just because today might be arbitrary doesn’t mean that it’s useless. If nothing else, New Year’s is a chance to get together and make one step towards self improvement–a resolution–for the next 365 days. The top 10 resolutions, according to about.com, are:
1. Spend more time with family and friends
2. Fit in fitness
3. Lose weight
4. Quit smoking
5. Enjoy life more
6. Quit drinking
7. Get out of debt
8. Learn something new
9. Help others
10. Get organized
Personally, I don’t think you can go wrong with #1. But, I also think, as Hannah suggested in her article yesterday, that the best resolutions are simple and specific. One resolution that I have is to cut down on the number of typos in my EN articles. Feel free to add your New Year’s Resolution as a comment on this post. You can make it anonymous, or not, and maybe sharing it will help it come true with the help of some EN Karma. So, I ask you Eventing Nation:
What is your New Year’s Resolution?
