2018 Resolution

Lady and I tried to stay awake until midnight on New Year's Eve, 

but were unsuccessful.  Perhaps next year?

This past year I was so determined on making Bay Area my new home, I've got myself stuck in a routine of, well, establishing routines. 

I had a routine for pretty much every aspect of my life. I'd go grocery shopping at Costco on Saturdays mornings, work out on Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays, clean my apartment on Friday nights, do my laundry on Sundays, take Washington St to Target... the list of routines goes on and on. I realized, I just became a robot of sort, where I wasn't really EXPERIENCING my new life but just mindlessly living it.

With the New Year upon us, I want to apply my success of establishing routines by creating a new one. My new routine will be doing something NEW as part of my regularly-programmed life. 

So, I put together a quick list of ideas to help with meet my 2018 resolution: 

• Try one new recipe every month
• Explore one new place/restaurant every month
• Reconnect with a different friend at least once a month
• Volunteer at least once every three month
• Go on one date this year

Do you have other ideas for me?
