Happy New Year! I’ve never been one for New Year resolutions. Not that I have anything against them or have had issues keeping them – I just haven’t done them much. Over the last couple of years I’ve done the “one word”-thing – where one word represents a particular focus you have for the year. I’ll probably do that again this year, too.
That’s not to say there are not some things I want to accomplish this year. On the contrary, there are a number of things I’d like to do this year. So instead of presenting it like a “resolution” – I thought I would make a 2012 “to-do” list. I feel like I generally do well with to-do lists, so here it goes …
- Blog three times a week
- Run two 5K’s
- Go on more dates with my wife – about 4-6 of them
- Eat healthier, including some sort of green vegetable somewhat regularly (that’s for you, mom)
- More quality time with my son Evan – and quality for Evan involves quantity
- Lower my cholesterol
- Be more focused in my spiritual life (I know that’s vague, but it makes sense to me)
- Become “handier” learn or teach myself on how to build or fix at least a handful of things
- Dub all our old video camera tapes on DVD and/or hard drive
- Do some sort of family mission or outreach trip together (could be local)
- Go on 3-4 dates with my daughter Olivia
- Be more selfless
- Read 4 books
- Save money
- Give more
… that’s a good start. I plan on making a copy of this blog and schedule it to post sometime in June, to give me a mid-year check and to have an additional copy of this post to go live on 12/30/12 to see how I did this year.
