The New Year is a time for celebration and a time to start over anew. Last year was an eventful year for me, filled with new jobs, a new home and lots of travel. While 2008 had me bouncing around from place to place and job to job, I am definitely ready to be settled in for 2009. Well, not completely settled because that would get a little boring, but I am excited to be in one place with one great job! The New Year is also a time for New Year’s resolutions. Most people vow to work out more and lose weight, but that is not always easy. With a busy work schedule it is almost impossible to get to the gym. At least, that is the excuse I use! This year I have decided to forgo the whole New Year’s resolution thing and work on just being myself. I am going to try to go on more runs and I want to start my own jewelry line, but I am not calling them resolutions. I am calling them plans. That way I won’t be disappointed if I don’t follow through with them. But to all of you who are making resolutions, good luck! May your New Year be filled with good health and good fun! -Jackie Adam, advertising and editorial coordinator
