As 2008 draws to a close, it's about time to take a look back. But before, i do that, i am going to take a look forward. So here is my list of New Year's aspirations. We won't go so far as to call them resolutions...
1) Learn to play guitar. Yes, really learn. i've had the darn thing for a couple years now and i only pick it up a few days at a time. i am going to put in the time... and callouses.
2) Get in shape. This is a popular one, yes? i think i can legitimately achieve this one. i did a pretty good job the summer i worked right next to a YMCA and the summer i worked at one. We acquired a Bowflex this summer and i used it diligently for 6 weeks. i got in much better shape but i slacked off when we went for our week-long honeymoon. i have been disciplined enough to get on it every few weeks and not let it become a clothes rack AT ALL. i gained 10 lbs in the first couple weeks and i have a goal to gain more. If i can do that whilst still riding 15 miles a week on my bike, i'll be on track.
3) Clean up my language. Don't laugh (Ben, i can hear you). Yes, i've said this since 10th grade. i know i try this every year. i'm no sailor and i'm not worse than the average seminary student, even, but that's not how i choose to measure the change i need in my life. A little help?
