You say you want a resolution...

I've been trying for a few days to lock in a new years resolution. I have been successful so far of keeping to 2008's resolution and I am fairly confident I'll keep to it for the rest of my life. Big tick to me. But I am struggling to come up with one for 2009, sure I have plenty of ideas... but picking something that I aim to stick to is proving to be a bit of a struggle.

In the meantime, I have decided to make an inventory of all the things that I feel of proud of from 2008.. so here we go.
