It’s New Years Eve! Last week, I updated my 13 in 2013, and today I’m interrupting our weekly travel tuesday post to bring you new years resolutions for 2014. The first three added to my list are unsuccessful goals from 2013. If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again. Right?
Esther’s 14 goals in 2014 // New Years Resolutions:
1.Snowboard on the west coast.
2. Drive across both borders of the U.S. Only did Canada.
3. Fit into my skinny jeans comfortably. So tough evaluating after all the holiday eating!
4. Go on 52 dates in one year.
5. Make some youtube videos and get comfortable behind the camera. This one was too vague.
6. Try 12 new pinterest projects.
7. 52 photo outings with my camera, not iphone. Definitely not.
8. Complete Rosetta Stone Level 1 Spanish. Nope. I need to purchase a new Rosetta Stone.
9. Read 36 books in a year. Not quite. I read 10 out of 36.
10. Finally put our poor, neglected kitchen aid mixer to good use and try 12 baking recipes.
11. Blog at least twice a week for the entire year.
12. Start a gratitude jar and fill it up.
13. Try Project 333
14. Donate $25 to charity per item not completed

I keep thinking that time passes by too quickly every time a year comes to a close. In hindsight, 2013 was a good year. There were some ups and downs, but I think I’m learning to embrace them both. Although I can be a glass-half-empty kind of gal, I’m actually hopeful about the new year. We are currently on a plane back from the Galapagos, so we’ll miss all the NYE celebrations. Can’t complain. I actually wonder what people do mid-flight on days like this. Hopefully, we’ll be raising our glasses on the plane. It’s international, after all. I hope everyone has a blast tonight counting all the blessings from this past year and counting down the seconds to celebrate the new year!
**Update: Jacob didn’t complete 4, and I didn’t complete 7 = $275. We ended up making our donations to Refugee Beads, Furkids, and Kiva. 2013 was a much better year for completing goals, but giving is always good! :) We’re still considering it a good year for us!
What are your plans for NYE? What are some of your resolutions?
