Fun resolutions

Yes, New Year's Eve was more than a month ago. And after the parties and resolutions come taxes. Ugh. It's never a fun process to pull together the pounds of paperwork, receipts and get the databases in order for an accountant to make sense of them. Doing taxes each year really does make us take stock of the year before. Going through the paperwork reminds us of all the people we've worked with, all the events we've been to, and of course, just all the work we did in 2009. And makes us think of all the events, work, and fun to be had in 2010.

It's never too late to adopt a new resolution, so I wanted to share one of the best ideas I heard this year. It wasn't to exercise more, lose weight, quit smoking, learn French, or anything that sounds like work. It was simply to have more fun. I thought about this and it seems that really is the driver for all those resolutions that don't sound like fun. People resolve to lose weight, quit smoking, or try new things because those things either provide more time to have fun with friends and family. Healthier people are happier people, right?

So this blog is a virtual toast to having more fun in 2010. For us that means more kayaking, sailing, boating, and fishing on the Bay. What's your fun resolution this year?
