For the past two years, I've posted my New Year's resolutions. I did pretty well on my 2014 ones:
1. Play more music--yes, although Desert Boy has made more progress than me!
2. Exercise regularly--yes, I'm in better shape this winter than last winter and exercise pretty much every day
3. Organize my house--somewhat; it's a work in progress, but we keep decluttering and organizing
4. Eat healthier--yes. Just reading food labels makes a huge difference in awareness.
5. Give more--yes, I was able to give more time to my husband and we really enjoyed our date nights!
I even managed some of the bonus items, like raising chickens (although it took a lot of perseverance and we're now on chickens #10, #11, and #12), reading the Bible in a year (on week 50!), writing more, self-publishing a children's book (see sidebar for details), taking some trips, getting some structural fire training, and recertifying as an EMT. Woohoo!
So what's for 2015? I like challenges, it keeps my competitive spirit happy. So I'm going to call my resolutions my challenges. Plus, some of these I developed throughout last year.
1. Desert Survivor's Get-Out-and-Camp Challenge. Our goal is 12 nights. Last year we made 11!
2. Desert Survivor's Backyard-Bird Challenge. We will count all the different bird species we see in our backyard. Last year's number to beat: 34.
3. Desert Survivor's Try-a-New-Recipe-Every-Week Challenge. I don't think this one will be too hard, but I'll report on the great successes and the flops.
4. Desert Survivor's Photograph-the-Full-Moon-Every-Month Challenge. This is a new challenge I'm developing that I'm super excited about. Stay tuned for details!
And since challenges are more fun with friends, you all are invited to join in!

You are inspiring me to come up a more specific list than I intended on! I really like the photographing the full moon. I am interested to know what camera/lens you will use since the moon is tricky to capture.
