Why wait?

New Years Resolutions. 


Do you make them?


........


Do you keep them? 

I've never been one to make resolutions, but I do try to have goals to strive for every year.  Something to continually motivate me to do better: physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally.  I am in a constant state of growth (or, at least, I hope I am.  If I'm not growing, then I'm slowly dying.)

I've noticed some things in the last few months that I need to take care of, but instead of waiting until a new year rolls around, I'm going to start right now.  (Once again, I'm striving for that public accountability thing.  Try not to be do hard on me when I fail, but please be generous with the encouragement! wink wink!)

  1. Get outside (weather permitting) or get on the floor and play with my kids for 30 minutes more every day.
  2. Eat a salad with at least one meal a day, plus all my other veggies.
  3. Run a 5k this year (maybe two), and get a schedule set for next year. (Have to start running 3x's a week to obtain this goal.  Gonna need some help!!)
  4. Start writing once a week (blog, book, anything to keep my writing skills up.)
  5. Spend at least one hour a week devoted to the ministries that I am personally involved with at my church (calling my class, working on lessons, tending to the classroom, writing cards, etc.)
