Other New Years Resolutions

So outside of what I want to do for the Photography bit, which was a wall of text in itself a few other things to work on in 2016:
1. Make new friends, and OR re-acquaint with old ones. I realize that throughout the years people drift apart. I got together with a High School friend I haven't seen in Decades who moved back into the Twin Cities last week and it made me feel really good.
This is to say that I know there are others I am going to fall away from, or who need a little distance from. And there are some people that I simply, cannot ever be friends with. But making new friends beyond acquaintances and realizing that, at times some of those friends may also be friends with one of your sworn enemies... and that can make things difficult. Sometimes I just need to move on and past in order to go forward.
2. Budget my money better, pay off credit cards. I started getting a handle on this last quarter. There are still things I'd like to buy for Photography, and I need to invest money into fixing the boat... but in order to do so I need to cut back on some other spending and not just buy things when I feel like it. Have a better thought out plan for big purchases...
3. Be less Pessimistic. I tell myself this every year, and this is one of the hardest things to do since my nature is to be a glass half empty type.
And I guess that is it for now. Was sick of the Wall of Text thought dump on my front page. This one is quite a bit shorter :)
