2014 resolution: Check. That feels pretty great.
This past year I resolved to read everyday. It is so simple, but I have been lacking in the habit since I graduated from school and spent my time with required reading. My guidelines were that I had to read for a minimum of five-minutes each day, and it had to be from a book (blogs and online articles did not count). Many days I read for more than five-minutes, but on others (most?) I only squeezed in those minimum requirements. I realize that this is not an extensive list by any means, but I am glad for the habit it has created. It is encouraging how many finished books five-minutes a day can add up to. I do not think that, going into 2015, my day will be complete without spending a few minutes with a book.
