Personal Goals
Resolutions never work for me…maybe because I’m only ultimately accountable to myself…and that doesn’t seem to be enough to get me to focus intensely on any of them. Maybe if I publish them this year I’ll be accountable to a few more people!
Here are some personal goals:
(1) Get under 200 pounds…haven’t been there for a long time…wonder what it feels like to be that light again
(2) Go from walking to running again…haven’t run in 5 years or more…might help me with (1); get to 10 minute miles
(3) Read the Bible completely through (starting with the New Testament) in this calendar year
(4) Prioritize more personal time for working with local charities; pick one to become extremely engaged and active in
(5) Be active in the job hunting and references for those still looking for work or needing new challenges; be successful for at least 25% of those seeking my help in their next steps
(6) Develop the outline and draft the first few chapters of a book with my Dad
(7) Cut my Starbucks intake by half
(8) Remind myself daily of how blessed I am and start each day out smiling
I need to get to work!

For what it’s worth, my perception has been that you’ve had a pretty good handle on #8 in all the time I’ve known you!
I’ve got a goal similar to #1 & 2 as well….#6: I have that novel still in the works, and #7 will never be an issue for me since I hate coffee products. 😉

Giving up some of my many, many, many Starbucks may be tough! I’ll call it a victory if it’s a modest decrease! I miss your blogs! You are a great inspiration to me in the work you were doing at the park!
