New Year and a New Commitment

I used to find New Year Resolutions dull and pointless, but then I realized it was me that was the problem. I am too lazy and scared to commit to goals that I could fail at. Well I am over that. Goals are goals the important part isn't when you reach them it is the process that counts. Here are my goals for 2009.
* Loose weight I realize that this goal is an a-typical goal that everyone sets. Well all I can say is that I really mean this one. I have steadily been gaining weight since last year. No more! I am going to the gym and I will pay the extra money and eat right.
* Improve mental health I know that I can do better, I am not where I should be. I haven't been managing my depression and I have had several panic attacks this year. I am going to swallow my pride and get help and stop lying to myself that I don't need it.
* Learn a new dance I really want to take a dance class and learn more dances
* Keep in contact with people I love by writing letters, calling, visiting and emailing.
* Be pain free. I can do more to prevent the pain I live in, I just need to do it.
* Read more books! My goal is to read 52 novels this year, including the standard works.
* Improve piano skills by practicing once a week for an hour. I am committed to doing this, I think I can do it!
* Go to 90% of the Devotionals. Let's face it 100% is not realistic for me at this time so I will start with something realistic. I just need to get over my attitude.
* Write a book
* Travel to a city I've never been to before.
* Listen to other people more.

good luck, Laura. Those are excellent goals. How are they coming along?

You may not realize that you placed the standard works in the category with novels. . .
