2015 Resolution

Okay, so I don't really do 'resolutions', but I think it's always a good idea to work on self-improvement. I'm continuing my goal of slimming down (I've kept off 10 lbs for over a year...just a handful left to go!). But my new goal is to be better at being likeable. I have a brusque personality that doesn't serve me very well as a teacher, friend, or family member. So I've started reading 'self help' style books on how to make people around you feel good about themselves, and feel good about being with you. My next step is to get some books on etiquette, and see if I can turn myself into a real charmer! With this sort of thing, practice is really what will make or break me, so I'm trying to do a little something extra or different each time I interact with someone new. More updates in a few weeks!
