Everyone makes resolutions. I have made them for years and have never really followed through with them. So this year, to try something different to achieve these resolutions, I am making 12 smaller ones for every month, so I can complete these goals each month. I am also going to try to post an article each month to show how I achieved my resolution for that month.

January- In the month of January, I want to conquer winter running. I have never ran in the winter and I would like to start to run again and do it in the cold harshness of winter.

February- In the month of February, I want to express love and the way I feel more. I am really good at bottling things up and keeping them inside until one minor thing makes me explode and break down. So in February, I am looking to communicate and love more effectively.

March- In the month of March I want to be creative. In March I want to make something really huge. Something that is time consuming and great. So in March, I will create.

April- April is my birthday month so I am going to do something better for myself. In April, I am going to "dress up" and try to look nicer for school or whatever and just be better for myself.

May- In May I want to be outside more. I want to plant things and watch them grow. I want to create life and bring beauty to the world.

June- In June I want to go to the beach and wear a bathing suit and be proud of my body and not worry about what other people think. Its my life, not theirs.

July- In July I want to run. Run every day. And get back to my long distance running and not stray from it again.

August- In August I am going to try to be more self confident and show myself that I am great and I can do anything I set my mind to. I am going to be happier with myself and not put me down as much.

September- In September, I would like to spend quality time with the people around me who I love.

October- In October, I want to be happier. Happiness is vital to life and in October I am going to try to worry less and smile more.

November- In November, I am going to be thankful and more grateful for what I have and what I don't have.

December- In December, I am going to spend more time with friends and try to act like children out in snow and cold or just do whatever.

So, instead of one or two big resolutions and not sticking to them, I made 12 that are very small and can be done in each month of this new year!

Happy New Year!! Welcome 2017!!!!!
