gal on the run

They say if the grass looks greener on the other side, maybe you should take better care of your grass. This is me watering my grass.

resolutions

I know sometimes people are against resolutions because they never work, we don’t meet them, blah blah blah - but I’m a firm believer in making explicit the things we want to accomplish.  Plus I like making lists.  So here goes - these are my goals for 2009: 

Mind: 

  • Keep up with current events - read the newspaper and watch the news more frequently 
  • Practice my geography (play geo challenge) 
  • Read a book outside my comfort zone 
  • Keep up with studies for school - DO READINGS! 

Body: 

  • Train for a marathon.  Run a marathon or at least half a marathon 
  • Eat more healthfully - eat and buy more fruits and veggies 
  • Cook more frequently and go out to eat less  

Soul:

  • Live a life that will bring the Lord glory. Read the Bible frequently - i.e. at least 3 times a week. 
  • Find a selfless cause and then dedicate myself to it 
  • Be more generous and giving
  • See the world - ideally somewhere outside the country or at least out of state (nevada doesn’t count)  
  • Smile more and be friendly 
  • Figure out the woman I want to be.  And then be her.
