we were born and raised in a summer haze....

New years resolutions are typically something i am bad at. Mostly because I just don't care quite enough to make a list of things i want to accomplish, which is weird considering i have a "list maker" personality (read: too type A for my own good). Anyway, i think the idea behind resolutions is a lovely one, if it means we are trying to be a better us, and not if it means, that we are trying to reinvent ourselves. That.is.dumb.  Because i have a lot of time on my hands today, I bit the proverbial bullet and made a list of things I think will make me a better Nicole. Some of these are going to be much easier than others, some are just a little ridiculous. What can I say? I have a really romantic idea of  a new year being chuck full of possibility. So, with out further adieu:


1. see God in everyone, and put him at the center of everything i do.
2. just. breathe.
3. take more chances.
4. forgive more freely
5. learn.
6. love. more than i ever thought possible
7. make mistakes
8. learn to love my body. for better or worse
9. accept where i am, decide where i want to go
10. spend less
11. give more
12.  laugh. every day/
13. cry when i need to
14. work out.
15. keep in touch with everyone i love
16. make time for important things 
17. save.
18.  Have fun.
19. give back
20. change a life, the world, a tire, or a light bulb.
