Simple Living :: 13 Things to Learn in 2013

Each year, many people make resolutions to uphold. While resolutions are not usually on my radar, I do pick a yearly theme and do my best to live up to that theme throughout the year.

2012 was a year of firsts for me. I had the opportunity to do quite a bit of things for the first time: feeding giraffes, traveling to Wyoming, South Dakota and Palm Springs, growing a produce garden, teaching JMG, hosting a cookie exchange, having a niece, starting a blog, and more.

This year, I want to continue my love of learning by learning new things as well as expanding my knowledge in areas I enjoy. Here are my 13 Things to Learn in 2013:

• Learn how to fly fish
• Properly care for Orchids
• Perfect several French pastries
• CPR and First Aide
• Learn how to design and build a museum
• Say Yes more to my family and No more to others
• Understand how to use my DLSR and edit my photos
• Learn a yarn craft
• Expand on suburban gardening and raised beds
• Take a Hunter Safety Course and a Concealed Handgun Course
• How to maintain proper fitness
• Waltz
