It's been said that writing down your goals make them more attainable. This isn't the sort of list you can just "check off" and say you've acheved each, but rather a process of growth which I hope to carry on for the rest of my life. I cannot wait to see what 2012 has in store for me. Bright days are up ahead.

great list!
Ahh, these are great resolutions! I especially share #'s 2, 9, 12, 13, and 15.
And sign language is so much fun! A long time ago, when my nephew was little, I taught myself - and him - some sign language. He used it a lot, and half the time my sister had to ask me what the heck her son was asking for. Lol! He used it a lot, especially with food. He's a junior in high school now, and I think he still remembers some of the signs.
A GREAT book to teach yourself from is "Signing: How to Speak with your Hands" by Elaine Costello. It's a big red paperback book. It truly is a wonderful guide because it has the pictures, lists the motions to use, and even gives a quick background on just why they use those particular motions. (That quick little background info really makes it easier to remember). I can't stress enough how fantastic that book is. It really made learning it a lot of fun, and it was quick and to the point with each sign. It's so great that I never even bothered looking at other guides.
Have a fantastic weekend!
