I don’t think resolutions are dumb, nor do I think you make resolutions to break them.
I spent this morning thinking of my goals (focusing on marriage, being more prayerful, exercising my body & brain) and objectives (plan a weekly date night, pray every day, sign up for a race every quarter, read two books a month). That’s not a complete list, but a few examples. I had to pare down my complete list because it looked a bit overwhelming. Resolutions should be realistic, measurable, and achievable.
I’ve been productive gearing myself up for success. I signed up for an easy race on Superbowl Sunday. I applied for the NYC marathon. I emailed two volunteer opportunities (Meals on Wheels and Friends of the Elderly); we’ll see who gets back to me first.
2010 was an epic year. I got married. I turned 35. The Giants won the World Series. I hung out in a communist country. I have even higher hopes for 2011. Our spring honeymoon in Italy is going to be incredible. More mini-moons before and after the honeymoon. Getting back into volunteering. Running again. We’re prequalified for a second home and I told my real estate agent to be on the lookout.
I’m getting very excited.
Vince is in the lottery for the NYC Marathon, too. Maybe we’ll see you in the Big Apple this year!
Mar, that would be awesome!
