Well ... 2010 sure ended with a bang. Tornadoes all over the state of Missouri ... who would have thought that would be how we end our year? But we did. 2010 is officially over. So now it is time to think about the new year.
I've never been a "resolution" person, but a friend of mine gave me a pretty good idea that she does each year. She sets three separate goals for different areas of her life ... mind, body, and spirit ... and I thought that sounded pretty good. Who doesn't like goals?
So - here are the official Goals of 2011:
Physical: Obviously ... I would like to return to my pre-pregnancy weight in 2011 (preferably sooner rather than later), but that sounds too easy so I would like to add a challenge to run a marathon. I'm not a runner. I actually hate running. But running a marathon has always been something I'd like to accomplish. I don't know why. That's pretty lofty for me.
Spiritual: Obviously ... I should be reading my Bible each day. But let's be honest, I don't. I'm going to work on that, but my goal is to read the Bible in its entirety. There are certain books I've never read ... so I want to have read every book of the Bible by the end of the year.
Emotional: This is probably harder for me than thinking about running a marathon, but my big "heart" goal is to really try to work on taking criticism. It's never been a strong suit, and I'd really like to work on that. This isn't really a measurable goal, but we'll try it.
Mental/Educational: I'd like to read more (whaaat?). I know - let me explain! I'd like to read 12 books (one a month) that ARE NOT Christian fiction. Some might be classics that I've never read/finished. Some might be memoirs from people. Basically anything but Karen Kingsbury or Francine Rivers. :)
There you have them!
What are your 2011 goals?
