your year-end letter

Do you make New Year’s resolutions? We don’t. Instead, we’ll continue our ’08 New Year’s tradition and write our personal year-end letters. In these letters to ourselves, we write what the year was like—politically, physically, emotionally, fiscally, and all sorts of other –“aly’s”. (Just for good measure, I like to include my current weight.) We also include a bit about what to hope for and/or expect in the year to come. Then we put the letter in a place where we'll remember to read it part way through the year. This year, we found them after some fall organizing.

It was really fun to read them and remind ourselves what stood out most to us in ’08, and what WE THOUGHT ’09 would hold. I was pleased to read about some goals I had met by the time I read my letter.

Do it. Sit down, right now, and with an extra Christmas card, and write yourself a note. Do it with a friend and send it to each other in May-ish. I’m starting mine RIGHT NOW. Send me yours if you want; I'll hold on to it, keep it sealed and send it your way when you least expect it!

Happy New Year!
