December 31: Resolution You Wish You Had Stuck With

I am not big on New Year's resolutions.  Don't know why -- maybe because I feel that most of the time I don't think you stick to them... and even more importantly I fear (and probably know) that 99% of the time I personally won't stick to them.

However, I do like to set goals, and am working on helping myself to set attainable goals and reach them.  Some of my 26 Things before 26 were more goals than just things to do (and probably the closest things to resolutions I have ever set).  Of those, which one do I wish I had stuck with the most?

I recently had a 'aha' moment while making some Christmas gifts.  I LOVE crafts.  And more than that, I think I know why.  I have a pretty analytical job and approach most things administratively.  There isn't much of a chance for me to express myself (although I do often express my opinions on things) and crafting allows me opportunities to use the other side of my brain.  I am considering a couple of New Year's resolutions this year (why not? its a new decade, let's try something new!).  One of them would be for me to do something crafty each Sunday (thanks for the awesome idea Christy!). 

Anyway -- I wish I had known this about myself earlier.  I wonder how that might have changed the year and how I dealt with things.  What resolution do you wish you have stuck with?
