Every year since I can remember, when the clock struck 12 on New Year's (or a little after, depending on my plans), I stood on my porch and prayed to God, both thanking Him for the past year and thinking about what I wanted for the upcoming year. Really, that wasn't working for me...for the what I wanted part. I guess I can't be too picky when talking to Someone Who has the big plan, huh? Anyway, this year I didn't do that at all because I spent the night at my sister's house. So maybe my ideas will play out now that I've changed my tradition? We'll see. Inspirational books and quotes will tell me my ideas can always happen; I just have to make them happen. Ugh. How do I do that? Anyway, here are my resolutions for 2009:
1. Find a teaching job
2. Follow Dave Ramsey's financial advice
3. Establish a workout routine, starting today with Making the Cut by Jillian Michaels
4. Following my workout schedule for the half-marathon training (third time's the charm, right?)
5. Organize my professional development stuff...and everything else
6. Live simply
7. Make sure my family and friends know how important they are to me
8. Higher self-esteem, more confidence, more outgoing...ongoing for years
9. Forgive quickly...no grudges
10. Live the life I have
About Me
- T-Racer
- My mind moves so quickly that my mouth can't keep up. My smile is like a permanent accessory. I am jumpy. I'm afraid of ants, but not spiders. Well, not usually. I spent the last year of my life sleeping uphill and downhill, depending on if I faced the wall or the room. I have a great soap opera idea. I will be a compassionate teacher. My family is a dream (like all, we have some nightmares). My friends make life an adventure. I live a fairy tale, on the outside.
