New Year's Resolutions Round II

Something about the New Year makes me want to change-up my life. Anything feels possible when the confetti starts to fly. So I've decided to post a second set of resolutions (in addition to my writing resolutions) to net those ideas that are fluttering around in my brain. Maybe they will spark a desire in you to add something new (or revive something old):

Decoration at Doug and Desirea Mosman's Barn Dance

Dance again – That's it, no more rationalizations as to why not! I've decided to slip back into my cowboy boots. The New Year's Eve country barn dance I recently went to re-ignited my passion for line dancing. I love the sound of country songs and the smiles of friendly folk. (I could also use the exercise.)
Schedule in regular art days – Art soothes my soul, so I'm going to set aside regular times to create. I've got my art room back (daughter moved out), so I don't have any more excuses. My daughter and I are mulling around ideas for vintage picture frames and other decor I can photograph for this website. I've got stacks of old frames I can refurbish and vintage jewelry to use for accents.
Re-decorate and organize my art room – I've already started the room redo with the purchase of a vintage-style quilt for the trundle bed. Now I'm on a quest to find white cubbies to put against the wall at the back of my work table. This is where I will store my art supplies so they are easily accessible. I've learned from experience that well-organized creative spaces facilitate arts and crafts.
Crochet a soft-pink blanket for the end of the trundle guest bed – This will add a feminine touch. Crocheting relaxes me and provides time to think.
Organize my spaces – I cannot bear to feel squeezed in our small house any longer. My husband and I don't quite get how even though we deliver truckloads of stuff to the Salvation Army, clutter grows in our garage and closets like mold in a petri dish.

So there you have it…my additional resolutions. New Year's resolutions are about pursuing possibilities! So, have I inspired any additions to your list?
