It seems to be that time of year - when people with the best of intentions make an effort to improve their lives as the calendar turns, hoping that this year will be different/better/more meaningful than others. I have tried to make resolutions in the past, and I really seem to have a great deal of difficulty sticking with them. But this year there is a baby on the way. My life is going to be really different no matter what, but I still have some personal goals that I feel I must achieve in order to make my life more complete.
Here is the partial list:
- Quit all of the bad habits that I can't seem to quit.
- Be patient and kind.
- Organize my financial records by month and not just shove everything into a file cabinet.
- Keep up with my blog more frequently and with better insights.
- Return to my teaching job. It's what I was meant to do with my life.
- Write thank you notes.
- Cook dinner more often.
- Keep my little office in my attic clean.
- Take some time off work to spend with the baby.
- Relax at the YMCA by swimming and playing.
- Paint the shutters. (It's been two years now.)
- Read more
- Learn Baby Sign Language.
Nothing on my list is obscenely difficult or out of the realm of possibility. I tried to keep everything concrete so that I can see them take place. One day I will get my printer fixed so that I can print this up and look at them frequently.
Anyone else have a list to share?
