It's only the end of January and I am finally getting around to sharing my projects for the year. I've just been having too much fun living life! So without further delay...2009, I bid you adieu! Thanks for the memories made and the life lessons learned.
I’ve got a feeling that 2010 is going to be a great year! I’m optimistic because I don’t base my happiness on the state of the economy, the nature of the current political debacle or what others opinions are, but rather the moments in life that are worth remembering and celebrating each day with friends, family and loved ones for God hasn’t given me a spirit of fear!
As I do every year, I’ve decided to give myself a few projects. Here they are in no particular order:
(1) Read the Bible cover-to-cover. I’m happy to report that so far, I’m on track and loving it!
(2) Grow something edible. I’ve been meaning to start a garden for years. This is my year! Check back for updates and photos. I’m praying my green thumb for plants carries over to yielding delicious crops.
(3) Cut the grocery bill. I’ve never given myself a grocery budget. As you all know, I love to cook and I won’t scrimp on the quality of my ingredients. Given that, I’ve been pondering how to cut my grocery bill without eating prepackaged/processed foods (Blech!). I’ll share any tips and progress as it comes.
So there’s the list. Notice there isn’t one project to do with “getting skinny” or “losing weight.” That’s because I am officially cool with me. I eat healthy (90% of the time) and I work out at least 4 days a week. This decade will not be spent obsessing over calories and hovering over the scale. This decade is about being at peace with the person God made me and seeking out the person he wants me to become. I will always strive to be healthy and part of that is learning not to obsess and live a more balanced life.
Join me on this journey of 2010. Watch me succeed, fail and pick myself up again. I hope your 2010 is off to a most fabulous start and is full steam ahead to the best life could offer!
