Hi 2012

And so begins another year. This time every year we make resolutions that 90% of the time are broke by March. Its just human nature.  This year though I really want to try and hold to my resolutions. I am going to make this the year of creativity. Write more, work on more videos and hell even shoot a short movie. Work on making my work room more studio-ish and try some new ideas that have been collecting dust Big goals? Well outside of the short movie, no.
On the personal front there are goals of play with the kids more, be a better husband and the traditional lose some extra poundage. Again definitely do-able.
With this being a year of Elections I plan to be a more informed voter and I also plan not to get into heated political discussions.  These might be a bit tougher to hold to as I do tend to get passionate about things I believe in but its definitely something I can do.
Course there might be people out there who throw everything out the window figuring this is the last year of the human race. I hope most people that read this do not believe that. Its just not true.
New Years is a time of reflection and renewal. Now of course you can try and change things during the year, you don't have to wait until Jan 1st but it is nice to have a hard set reset day. One you can really mentally prepare yourself on the coming year and remember the things you have done right and wrong prior. Hopefully we can learn from these experiences to make sure they either do not happen again or build on the positive.
This past year had its ups and downs but I made some new friends, went on a number of family trips (probably more than we had before) that I think help bond our family a little closer together, and had more more ideas for projects. Good things to build on.
Things to learn from are still my ever present problem of being my own worst critic and stopping myself from doing something for fear of failure.
2012. The reset button has been pressed and who know what events the New Year holds for me and my family but whatever it brings, I feel I am ready for it. Never to late to change.
