As 12:00am turned over on my clock, I welcomed myself into 2010 and thought: 1. I made it to the new year, 2. I'm a year older, and 3. what will I do differently this year. I guess you could call them resolutions but that word has such a bad connotation.
So here's my list. Please let me know if there are different ones that aren't on my list that you are going to do differently this year:
1. At the beginning of 2009, I vowed to go through the bible in a year. I went through 326. So in 2010, I will again go through the bible and this time to the very end and thus learning more than I did and hopefully deepening my faith.
2. I will work on relationships this year. If you know me, you're probably asking if I could do any more talking. There are so many different kinds of relationships and those relationships that might have not received as much attention as normal, I will try to pick up on.
3. I would like to do a better job of NOT judging people. It's so easy to do. Before you know it, the judgement is there in your mind. You see someone inappropriately dressed, someone with a lot of tattoos or piercings, or even someone who is grumpy and you just don't know their situation.
4. I would like to deepen my relationship with my husband. Although we have a great relationship now, anything can be made better.
5. 2010 will find us working off a monthly budget. If it's not in the budget, oh well. Submit it in triplicate.
6. The usual: work on the weight, up the exercise, and do more walks with the dog.
7. Plant 8 spruce trees in the back yard.
8. Daily prayer is a part of my routine now, but I'd like to do a better job of asking people what I can pray for them about.
I guess that's it, if not enough. My plate will be full but then that's life. You really do have to stay awake, alert and involved.
God bless you all and I pray that this year will be a great one filled with good memories, new friendships, and more sleep.
