My intentions for 2012

I was going to name this post "My resolutions for 2012" but decided against it. I have never made resolutions nor do I plan to ever make any. But I often have intentions. Whether I go through on my intentions or not is another story, but I like intentions better than resolutions.

My biggest intention for 2012 is to blog and write more. I've been to so many incredible places. I've experienced so many amazing things. But I have a tendency to not write any of it down. I usually snap a picture or two, and that's it. I think I should be better at my record-taking so my future children can look back and say "Wow, mom really WAS cool!" because you know kids always want hard evidence.

And besides, writing is good for the soul. I need to stop being lazy (which is another intention I have for 2012). I was looking at my "blog stats" and noticed something: in 2009 I did 83 posts. 2010 I did 73 posts. And then, sadly, in 2011 I only did 23 posts. First thing I noticed- what's up with the number 3?! Then I noticed the decline in posts. I declined 10 posts between 2009 and 2010... then to 50 posts between 2010 and 2011. But fear not- I have intentions to improve!

So thus begins my journey to be a better writer, a better blogger. Wish me luck. (and fair warning- watch out for some random posts. Because that's just how I do).
