2008
January 3rd, 2008
I’ve been spending time in blog land catching up with everyone after the holidays. Kristin Armstrong blogged about what she does in terms of goals for the new year. She makes a list like the one I’ve done below. I liked her idea, so I went with it.
Things I Should Do/Be
A good wife, daughter, sister, friend – I’ll be these things by freeing up time that I would normally spend in my own little world to be with my friends and family. I’ll focus on worrying less, understanding more, doing nice things here and there, listening, and just loving.
A runner – Time for me to embrace what I am at heart, I’ll be making daily efforts to make myself actually believe I am a runner. Running really helps me to be the person I want to be.
A hard worker – Here’s to me not getting lost in the land of “I’ll do it tomorrow” anymore. I also hope that I don’t take any hookie days from work in 2008.
A good Christian – I’ll be praying, thanking, and going to church in 2008.
Things I Want to Do/Be
A marathoner – I’ve already registered for a few ½ marathons and I’m beginning to train for a full marathon. I’m really excited for my first marathon to be the New York City Marathon.
A piano player – Hopefully I sign up for lessons. I’ve wanted to be a piano player for a long time, as long as I can remember. I’ve always been so shy when it comes to singing or playing music. Not sure why, but this year will be different.
A knitter – I’m learning to knit – on my own, and it’s hard. I hope that within the year I’ll get much better.
Things that Scare the Crap Out of Me, but Maybe I Can Do/Be them
A college graduate – I’m almost there, just need to finish. Don’t know why it scares me so bad exactly, but hopefully I’ll be over that in time to graduate. That might not be in 2008 but at least I’m resolved to make efforts towards getting there this year.
Things I Already Am/Do but Don’t Live Like I Am/Do
A confident young woman
A financially stable person
enough said!
