Hiatus + Relationship Resolutions

Posted by Alex on January 6, 2009 under Social Awareness |

StephanieSaveMe is going on a week hiatus.  We worked hard throughout the holiday season to bring you the 12 Days of Meeting the ‘Rents, and boy are our arms tired!

Now, it’s not your fault, and Stephanie and Alex still love you very much.  We’re just taking a little break.

Meanwhile, I have two Relationship Resolutions to share.
1.  I resolve to reveal the contents of my head to my loved ones.  Apparently I have a habit of keeping pertinent information regarding upcoming events to myself.  I’m going to try to ask myself “is there something I’m forgetting to say?”  This is like when I tell a girl we’re going to dinner and wait until the lunch before to tell her dinner means “eating eel with my boss.”

2.  I resolve to ask questions, and listen to the answers.  These days I take the first thing I hear, make a picture in my head, and go with it (leading to a need for the first resolution).

By the way, I think there’s a trick to resolutions that’s rarely talked about - a mindset, really:  it’s okay if I don’t get them 100% right 100% of the time.  I’ll try to recognize when I mess my resolutions up and learn for the next time.

What are your [Relationship] Resolutions for 2009?
