I actually followed through on my new years resolution for 2018

My new years resolution was to read at least one book a week in 2018. I ended up reading 80 books. Throughout the year, I also donated at least 100 books to a charity thrift store. It feels good to have room on my bookshelf. I still have a little under 300 books left.

Now, I have to choose a good new years resolution for 2019.

My NYs resolution is the same every year: drink more. I know it sounds weird, but I figure drinking more means I'm socializing more and I have to force myself to socialize.
Cheers!

Here's to drinking more, socializing more and laughing more in 2019.

So far I've got no French fries, play guitar 20 minutes a day, and learn Spanish for 2019.

I think I read about 30 books. Unless you count children's books in which case the number goes up dramatically!

I want to tackle some of the classics so I want to give myself some extra time. Plus, I want to focus on other goals.
