New Year's Resolutions 2013

I wrote about New Year's Resolutions last year.  Maybe this will become a tradition, that on December 31, I blog about New Year's Resolutions.  Doing something two years in a row is a sort of tradition in and of itself, already, wouldn't you say? 

So, I have already indicated I wanted to make a change or improvement next year, in a previous blog:  I want to read more books in 2014, than I have read in 2013.  I ended up reading 49 books this year.  That should be a goal I can keep, given the fact that I really do enjoy reading.  I am not sure that is a real improvement, because I frequently read a book when I should be doing chores around the house.  But I believe that reading is a very good past time, and it is not time wasted. I believe it challenges the mind and keeps your mind active, and helps you to learn.  Although, I have to admit, I read very little non-fiction.  But I like historical mysteries, and mysteries with a theme that gives me new information (a specific topic, culture, science.)  And, I have started reading more non-fiction.
