Early New Year resolutions
Even though I’m exactly three weeks early, I’m declaring my resolutions today. It’s never to soon to get started on positive changes in your life, right?
In no particular order:
1. I resolve to be a better friend. There are so many friendships I have let slip away. Drfit is a natural thing in friendships, of course, but I seem to be quite good at letting people disappear for no real reason other than friendship laziness. Facebook has made this point abundantly clear to me by bringing people back into my life. Still, all I do is click on the lick button or drop a comment. I’m not good at calling people, sending emails, or much of anything else. This is something I will try to change. Christmas cards, however, are still pretty much out.
2. I resolve to socialize more. According to the Myers Briggs test, I am an extrovert. I haven’t felt extroverted in years. I have allowed local friendships to dwindle and I have made little effort to make new ones. I intend to change this. I don’t intend to return to the manic butterfly I once was, but I do intend to increase my network of friends and acquaintances.
3. I resolve to lose more weight again. Everyone resolves this. Few succeed. I’m putting it on the list with high hopes. We’ll see what happens.
4. I resolve to de-clutter my house. I will prevail. I will write a declutter plan to take things one step at a time. It will work.
5. I semi-resolve to have more fun doing things. It’s a semi-resolution because I’m not entirely confident I will follow through. I want to go to more concerts, do more local events, outings. I’m awfully lazy, though, so we’ll see what happens.
Holiday break goals (in no particular order):
1. I will read everything on my Foxfire “read it later” app list.
2. I will finish my gratitude blog.
3. I have many new things I want to implement in my courses for the spring.
