it's a new year

i tried to think of a new year's resolution upon being asked and the only thing i came up with was running the marathon this year. not that it's a small feat, but it's not a particularly original one. not only because i have run before, but because i had registered to run this past year - and put it off till next year (currently this year)- recycled goals carry a different kind of weight than new ones.

in considering this year that has passed i realize that there were several things i finally did after thinking about doing or not doing them for an extended period of time. the list includes in no particular order:

becoming a spanish teacher (swore for years i never would)
getting involved in a serious relationship (had just assumed i was defective before now)
traveling to new zealand (most gorgeous place "on the planet")
starting to see a chiropractor (i am hoping he will change my life - because his fees indicate as much)
producing my own choreography post-college (i don't think it's done yet, but that can be a resolution for another time)
starting a blog (i always had funny little ideas in my head and no where to put them)
