Honestly, all years after 2020 seem impossible so I’m not even gonna acknowledge the madness that it’s 2022. Before I let you know what my 2022 resolutions are, I need to let you know what you should also be doing right about now.

Every January I make sure to:

Mark down all important holidays/birthdays/anniversaries/weddings (also Daylight Saving Times, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Thanksgiving) on my calendar.
Check expiration dates for passport/license/health card/insurance/vet vaccinations and write down any important renewal dates.
Schedule all your doctor, dentist and hair cut appointments for the entire year.
Go through your entire fridge and throw away anything expired (this should really get done every month, but I’ll tell you right now that I never remember to do that).

RESOLUTIONS

Read at least one book per season.
Take Baby Dog on an adventure at least twice a season.
Try at least one new restaurant each month.
Properly go on a date with Nathan at least once a month.
Make a receipt box to track monthly expenses.
Go on a solo, alone trip.
Wear FUN clothes.
On the first of each month, try something new.
Vow not to do eyelash extensions ever again.
Have my book published by the end of 2022.

Do these seem lofty? Resolutions should be lofty. We’re all slowly rotting towards death, let’s get some more loftiness in our lives. Happy new year!
