Instead of making resolutions, I have a list of what I'm looking forward to in the coming year. Last year it was learning French, our wedding/honeymoon, cooking, and writing. This year, I'm looking forward to...
taking mini-vacations to nearby islands.
getting organized, and donating things we don't need.
celebrating our 1st anniversary. (10th dating anniversary!)
finding some new favorite restaurants.
learning more about photography.
forming new traditions.
exploring the neighborhood.
...and launching a big new project (more on that soon).
happy 2012!
Such fun things to look forward to. Happy 2012!

Sounds like 2012 is going to be an absolutely magical year, although 2011 was a banner year, too!

I love your approach. I took the same one and posted my 10 things I am looking forward to in 2012 on my blog. Taking vacations is definitely something that helps me look forward. Happy 2012!
