I’m not always very good at resolutions, but in the past I’ve enjoyed having a single over-arching concept to help focus my year. On a difficult day, I recall my theme and see if I can work with it to make the day better. Last year was “no shopping” and it was a specific, measurable goal that was challenging and memorable. This year I am going for something more vague.

Connect.

I intend this to mean “connect more in real life with friends and activities I enjoy” but it also incorporates the spirit of introductions, community-building, intellectual mash-ups, spiritual awakenings. I think “connect” is a good plan for 2010.
