Resolutions

First, I must congratulate myself for completing my one and only resolution last year: to get a physical. I didn’t get it done till late October, but nevertheless, it is fulfilled. It had been over a decade since I had been to the doctor (minus the whole breaking my toe with an axe incident last summer) and with my family’s history of diabetes, cancer and heart problems, I was sure that I had some physical ailment. Having a baby made me realize that I wanted to be around for awhile, if only so that I could teach him how to drive (leaving that to Janelle would be disastrous).
This year, now that I am on a roll, I once again have a few goals for myself:

• To read more. I was once an avid reader but slowed down once I started working on my masters. Na, Na, not this year.
• To participate in Lent. I am not catholic, however I feel like this is a great discipline to make apart of my life. Haven’t decided what I am going to give up yet, and TV is out solely because I can’t give up March Madness. Any ideas?
• To play more. Find some sort of league (volleyball, softball, basketball) to help me unwind.
• To pray more. Sadly, probably the hardest one on here for me. It requires the most will power and is something that is boils down to sheer determination.
• Not to use all my vacation time before June. I used a half-day on January 2nd, which was the first business day of the year if that gives you a clue.
• To be more romantic. This one doesn’t come naturally, but she deserves it.
  Worry less…..take a breath…..and remember that I will be okay
• To invest more in people. Invite friends over more and make more phone calls.
• Do something that scares the h*** out of me.
