• 2009 Goals

  I suppose this is really just late resolutions!  Terry was at a meeting at church and they were discussing goals for this year and I thought that it might be a good idea for me to look at some different areas of my life and think about what I want to do.  I never want to be in a position where life is just "passing by" and I'm just along for the ride.  I want to be always trying to better myself, keep learning and create more.  So with that in mind, here are some things I've come up with to start with.

  Personal:

  • Exercise.  I have to.  I am so out of shape.  It's really sad.
  • Keep up with my vitamins/supplements.  I don't know why I'm so lazy about this.
  • Focus more on my singing.  Voice lessons?  At least spend time each day working on my range and flexibility.
  • Spend one Saturday a month focusing myself spiritually and emotionally.  There are some neat options over at the Priory here.

  Family:

  • Move towards a diet of "whole foods".  I've gotten lazy on this.
  • Work towards becoming as "waste free" as possible.  We've done really good in this area so far.  We are going to move to the small sized garbage can for our every other week pick up.
  • Get the boys more involved in the kitchen more often.  This is totally my fault as I take on the "it gets done quicker and easier if I just do it myself" attitude much too often!

  Friendship:

  • Do more spontaneous gifts/cards/etc. I love doing this.  Message me your address and maybe you'll get something spontaneous sometime!  =)
  • Let people love me.  I love very easily.  Those in my life are so important to me.  My issue is I have a very hard time accepting that someone could love me back and that I could be important to others.  This will probably be the hardest goal on my list.  Just thinking about it makes me a little queasy!
  • Accept help when people offer.  I am sort of a control freak and I need to let go of that...maybe.  =)
