Can you believe how fast this year went by? It seems like only weeks ago that I decided to start this blog, and was writing my first post. And speaking of writing blog posts, here is one of my first New Year's Resolutions: to write more often! I am so inspired by those of you who are posting new ideas and pictures and TPT products several times a week! You amaze me. When do you sleep?!?
Another of my New Year's Resolutions isn't really a resolution, but rather something that I started two months ago, and want to continue: piano lessons! I've wanted to learn how to play the piano since I was a kid, and I just recently realized that I'm a grown up now, and can take piano lessons if I want! So I've begun taking lessons once a week from the organist at church, and as it turns out, I LOVE it! I practice at the piano in the school's music room after school (or occasionally at recess or lunch if I need to clear my head), and I'm already making a lot of progress.
(Yes, my piano books are in Korean! They were originally German books that were then translated into Korean, but they have not been published in English. I really only need to read the musical notes in the books anyway though, and according to my piano teacher these books are the best for beginners, so that's what I use!)
Of course, there's the usual, "get in shape & drink more water" resolution that I (along with the rest of the world) make each year as well. I'm not going to make this a formal New Year's Resolution though, because I always set these outrageous, unrealistic goals for myself that I never keep. (For example: work out at least four times a week, and drink at least 2 liters of water every single day. I'd make it a week and a half. Maybe.) Instead, I'm going to encourage myself to go to Pilates at least once a week, and bring a water bottle to work to make it easier to drink more water (versus coffee - see the picture of Starbucks on the piano above).
So, what are your New Year's Resolutions?? How are you going to keep them??
