new year's resolutions

I resolve not to make any silly resolutions that I never intend to keep! It's January 1st again, and to most people, that means a clean slate. People can start off fresh on whatever changes and adjustments they want to bring to their lives. It's funny because Polly and I are going to start exercising again (she never really stopped, but she lumped herself with me out of love I think) and picked January 1st as the day. So last non-healthy day I will be at a party enjoying numerous munchies. I think I should do myself a favor and start eating healthier tonight. Why do people always need a new year (or month or whatever) to enact a positive change? It's okay to change your lifestyle and life now. I hope I'm listening to my advice. So I am about to break my first resolution already by naming a few resolutions. (I know I'm guaranteed to fail at something so I'm just trying to control my own failure a little.) Here they are: 1. I resolve to not eat peas in 2009 2. I resolve to not split infinitives in 2009 3. I resolve to not wear white after labor day in 2009 4. I resolve to exercise in 2009 (It's not definite yet, but I'm looking tentatively at July 29th as the day) 5. I resolve to maintain excellence in my blog 6. I resolve to stop lying to myself about the quality of my blog 7. I resolve to make my own lunch for work at least once a quarter 8. I resolve to watch more sports in 2009 9. I resolve to do better at finishing tasks without procrastinating 10. I resolve to... I'll finish this later. On a more serious note, I really would like to accomplish the following: 1. Read my Bible daily 2. Lose 30 pounds 3. Be a better husband, son, brother, youth pastor, friend, and employee Everyone be safe this new year! Blessings to all! The only question that now remains is, "When will I stop writing 2008 on documents?" Hopefully by May at least.
