Happy 2009, everyone! Personally, I’m fine with seeing the hind-end of 2008. Although 2009 ain’t getting on my good side yet, with a thaw and pouring rain on top of 2 feet of snow producing roof leaks and a thick, metallic sheet of unwalkable ice where our driveway and road should be…

So. It’s time for New Year’s Resolutions! Actually, I set specific goals each year for various areas of my life (physical fitness, art, agility, etc.).

Still, I think there’s a place for resolutions which may not have goals associated with them. Sometimes having a goal takes some of the joy-juice out of the activity. F’rinstance, in 2009 I’d like to:

  • Continue giving myself permission to experiment in my work - to create without expectation of sales
  • Refresh my approach to marketing my work
  • Work more on developing meaning in my art

These are kinda vague, but that’s intriguing for me.

OK, everyone: time to step up with your 2009 resolutions!
