For some years, I've formulated New Year's resolutions by picking a theme and then trying to live up to it. I had "2001, the Year of Living Dangerously," the year I tried to live more boldly and take more risks in decision-making. Then I had "Hot Body 2002," which involved exercising more regularly and eating better. Then I had "Hot Body 2003," and then "Hot Body 2004, Dammit!" and then a few years in which I went without New Year's Resolutions altogether.
For 2010 I've decided to pick an adjective that I want to describe me well. 2010's theme will be "Strong." I like this adjective because it embodies several goals all in one. It can motivate me to get back on a regular exercise schedule again, and work on attaining that ever-elusive upper arm strength I've been coveting since the summer after my sophomore year in college. (Hundredpushups.com and climbing wall, here I come!) I'd also like the adjective "strong" to describe my emotional state and overall personality. I'm going to re-bound more quickly every time anything or anyone knocks me down, brush the dust off my clothes, and forge right along. That's what strong people do.
