New year, new decade, new me? Hardly.
While I do make resolutions, both the kind you write on sticky notes and put on the bathroom mirror, and the kind you keep to yourself, I’m never trying to become a new person.
Just a better version of myself. That’s a much more attainable goal.
So resolutions aren’t a big deal for me, but what I do like about New Year reflections are the best of lists.
Here are a couple that I really enjoyed –
The New York Times has a neat interactive piece summing up the decade. I had forgotten (or maybe just blocked) some these events.
Every year I look forward to Barack Obama’s tweets listing movies, books and films. I usually find a few new items for my library hold queue and something to watch on Netflix for the holiday when football becomes overwhelming.
As we wind down 2019, I wanted to share with you my annual list of favorites that made the last year a little brighter. We’ll start with books today — movies and music coming soon. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did. pic.twitter.com/l5qTGkAPok

Speaking of library hold queues, I know I’ve pointed to this before, but NPR has a great book resource called the Book Concierge which lets you sift and sort through all sorts of books. One more reminder on this – if you go back one year you usually don’t have to wait as long on the hold list to get your books!
So how about you – are you a resolution maker? Or have you seen a really good list about 2019 that I should see? Let me know in the comments below!
