Since today is my last day at work before January 5, I thought I would jot down some of my New Year’s Resolutions. Some of you (or all of you) might not care, but it’s a way to let me throw some ideas down and keep myself accountable. If I don’t blog again before Christmas or January 5, I hope everyone has a very great Christmas and New Year’s.
My New Year’s Resolutions
- Spend time with God every single day of 2009 (One of the most difficult tasks for me. I usually fail at this by January 7.)
- Become a better man (Stronger character and integrity)
- Become a better boyfriend
- Lead 1 person to Christ (1 may sound low, but you can’t get to 2 without starting at 1)
- Expand my circle of friends (I was successful at this for 2008; looking to go even deeper in 2009)
- Lose 20 lbs/Turn 20 lbs of fat into muscle
- Read 12-15 books on many different topics that stretch my mind
- Attend at least 1 St. Louis Cardinals baseball game (My streak was broken this year)
- Become a better bass player
- Travel to a place I’ve never been before
- Discover a great hot spot restaurant in Nashville that no one knows about
- Declare myself eligible for the NBA Draft (what???)
- Say “Yes” to more invites, even if it’s uncomfortable
- Knock out 1 of my 4 student loans
- Give more money to the church, charitable organizations, and people in need more than ever before
- Serve others (by getting my hands dirty) more than ever before
- Learn to see prayer as communication over obligation
- Conduct an interview with Josh Hamilton and/or Kurt Warner
- Play Ben Wheeler in Madden or NCAA 2010 (maybe?) online
- Expand my taste in music
- Catch up on Heroes
That’s my list for now. I’m sure I’ll add more to it before the New Year hits. So, if you actually care, you can check back later and see. Also, I’m curious if anyone has any special or unique resolutions for 2009.
