This is my new LIST. Yes I am a list person (you that love me know this is true). Only this time you are going to be my witnesses. So I will state them here and you will help me keep track throughout this next year... Yes I am starting in June...why? Because I am me and it just seems right!
This year I will:
Break a bad habit... okay I will break the bad habit of not moving enough...it is very hard when you sit at a desk most of the day and then are very tired when you get home...you know, a vicious cycle, but I will try to move more!
Learn a new skill...oh I know! Beekeeping!, or how about falconry! Well I DO want to learn those things, but I think I will try really hard to get better at quilting. I just kind of do it whichever way I can think of but maybe I will even take a couple of classes and even learn the MATH (ick!) part of it!
Do a good deed... Well that will just have to be a spur of the moment thing I can tell right now, hopefully I will remember to blog about it so I don't look like someone with a short attention/persistence span!
Visit a new place... well I'm going to count our recent family reunion location : Santa Rosa, NM (not CA Steven). We have driven through, stopped and got gas (sorry about that Nick) but never really took the time to check out this cute, little I-40 exit. I believe it is having a resurgence of earlier glory days and hope it well. Oh! and Long Live The Blue Hole!
Read a difficult book... I have just started reading (again for the third time) Jesus the Christ by Talmadge.
It is hard AND long but worth every minute. I could just never decide whether to read each page and then the footnotes, or read the chapter then all of the footnotes. So now I'm reading it on an e-book and I think it is the whole chapter and then the footnotes...but don't quote me on that!
Write something important... Okay so in my church I have a calling with the 8-12 year old girls called Activity Days. We (and I mean me too even though I am well over that age) are going to be setting up a journal/personal history this summer and I'm counting this as important NOT because what I write is important but the fact that I am obeying a commandment is important.
Try a new food... Okay I'd say every time I walk in the kitchen with a recipe in my hand my sweet husband can check that off his list! But I think it means a single ingredient food so I will definitely search one out and try it (but I can tell you squirrel will not be it)!
Do something good for someone who can not thank you... I'm going to show my true side here when I say this could possibly be just keeping someone alive by not strangling them from my road rage! Oh hey! that could be a bad habit to break too...wait! I have way too many bad habits to break! See I'm already getting distracted sigh...this one will also have to be a spur of the moment or maybe a good contemplation session to plan it out!
Take an important risk...Okay I can check this one off also! Going to a job interview is never an easy thing to do. I recently did this and
Wow! Totally didn't mean to ramble on but I definitely have my work cut out for me and now we'll see how I do in the coming year! Whether or not I succeed I will be a better person by just trying...I think?
