I think I overshot on last year’s New Year’s resolutions. Did I really think I could achieve a dozen goals? Here’s how I did:

1. Commit to a charity (happened–if driving my mom-in-law around one day a week qualifies.)

2. Meditate every day (didn’t happen–at least not every day.)

3. Yoga once a week (happened—until I got the childcare chick fired for storming into the yoga class yelling “You’re late! And you didn’t pack a snack!”)

4. Attend a regular 12-step support group (happened–until I realized I was leaving the church hall more depressed than when I arrived.)

5. Have sex more often–with Eric (happened–despite my hefty dose of Zoloft!)

6. Have date night with Eric twice a month (didn’t happen–are you kidding? That takes organization.)

7. Go to church every week as a family (happened one-third of the time, and I got there myself every week.)

8. Get back to writing (happened–as you’re reading in “Beyond Blue!”)

9. Stabilize my meds and work with a good doctor (happened–Halleluia!–after trying 23 combinations and six shrinks.)

10. De-clutter the house (didn’t happen–hello? My kids are three and five.)

11. Try new things (happened–took a tennis class)

12. Become a lector at St. Mary’s (didn’t happen–weekly attendance is enough for now.)

What were your 2006 resolutions, and how did you do? What are your resolutions for this year?
