Agreeable & Most Fine New Year's Resolutions

As January begins to wind down, most of us realize we are never going to keep those New Year's resolutions we always make. Join the gym, eat healthier, get organized...you know the ones. While they are great changes to make in one's life, I'm not sure that New Year's is the best time to put that kind of pressure on oneself. Why not choose resolutions that are enjoyable, and therefore you are more likely to benefit from fulfilling? So here's the deal: think up two or three FUN resolutions you think you might like to keep. Here are some ideas: buy only really great bread from bakeries, instead of supermarket bread; learn to enjoy a bit of the mess in your life, instead of letting it upset you; put binoculars and a bird book by a window and check out the birds in your neighborhood for five minutes every morning.

These are pretty simple to keep, but will probably bring a bit more joy into your life in 2013. Come up with three fun resolutions - ones you might actually keep - write them on postcards and send them to two swap partners. This is my first time creating a swap, and in the spirit of the New Year it is open to newbies. Please consider joining - I would love to hear some creative ideas!
