2011

This is not something I normally do (blog, or make lists of goals/dreams etc) but nothing wrong with mixing things up a little. I've jotted down some things I'd like to work on/do/try to do within the year 2011. This is really the first time I've come up with an entire list, so here it is in no particular order:

1. Read through the Bible again exclusively using The Message.
2. Live and work only  to please God and not worry about what people think. I guess this is my "theme" for the year stemming from several Bible verses and conversations with God.
3. Believe in myself enough to go for the things I want.
4. Be happily teaching SOMEWHERE.
5. Get my finances back in order and make smarter financial decisions. Be more thankful for what I do have and more generous with what I've been given.
6. Pay off ONE of my debts. At least.
7. Deepen old and new friendships.
8. Allow myself to become more transparent and not hold everything in.
9. Be increasingly able to find JOY in the small things and the big things.
10. Acquire a roommate (I hate living alone!). I'm an extrovert for crying out loud!
11. Get a phone that doesn't look like it barely survived a nuclear war.
12. Exercise regularly. Run.
13. Eat more fruit.
14. Learn how to cook better and do more of it.
15. Go on another roadtrip (preferrably to Montana or out west). They do my heart a whole world of good.
16. Care more about others, become increasingly less self-centered.
17. Read a bunch of books.
18. Blog at times
19. Treat myself to shopping once in a while. It's good for a girl's soul.
20. Devote more time to drawing/painting etc.
21. Print some pictures!! It's been a year and a half since NYC/DC/Boston. Still no prints.
I'm sure more will come up somewhere but I think I have enough to work on for now.
