Our good friends, the Tidwells, always set goals at the beginning of each new year. Jeremy and I liked the idea so much that we decided to start doing it ourselves last year. These aren't resolutions, you know, the ones that quickly become forgotten after January passes. These are goals that we actually set out to achieve, and I find that actually writing them down goes a long way. I accomplished a couple of mine from last year and a couple of them are back on this year's list. Most notable "accomplished" are that I ran a half-marathon before I turned 30 and I successfully potty-trained Cooper. My 2010 list is much longer than the 3 or 4 goals that I had last year. This year, I am prayerfully planning for the following:
Finish 1st place in my age group in a 5K
Finish 3rd place or higher in my age group in a 10K
Eat more fruits and vegetables (holdover from last year, but this year, I have a plan!)
Get up earlier
Go to bed earlier
Give up my sugar addiction, once and for all!
No gossiping . . . ever
More consistent prayer time (and NOT when I'm sleepy)
More consistent time in scripture and study
Memory verse every 2 weeks
Drink more water (I made a slight improvement this past year, but it's back on the list)
Go on a mission trip
Go on a trip with Jeremy (and only Jeremy)
Be a better friend
Eat less (i.e., start eating to live and not living to eat)
I appreciate your prayers and encouragement. This will be fun!
