New Year's Resolutions

Okay, so everyone hates writing lists like this because, let’s face it, none of us stick to them. It’s like the minute we even think about them we fail, whether we’ve listed 1 thing to achieve or thirty.

This time, however, after the year I’ve had and, let’s face it the fact I’m still here with you all, I’ve decided if ever there was a year to check off items on my list, it’s now, in 2026.

So, here we go:

1. I want to read more (no number specified, anything past 1 will be an achievement in and of itself.)
2. I want to take a walk every single day it’s not snowing! (Believe me when I say this will probably be the hardest resolution to achieve).
3. I want to take more photos with my Pentax camera.
4. I want to listen to a lot more music. (Suggestions welcome).
5. I want to eat less junk food.
6. I want to lose another 15 pounds in weight by the end of 2026.
7. I want to visit at least 3 new places.
8. I want a holiday abroad.
9. I want to try a new food (nothing nasty like big fat white grubs). But maybe Afghan food, or Persian, or … well, you get the picture.
10. I want to write every day in my new Hobonichi Techo diary.
11. I want to live each and every day in the moment.

And you, did you make any resolutions for the New Year?
