New Year's Resolutions


So I noticed that it was May when anyone wrote anything on here. We sure didn't last very long, did we? Sad. I realize that my own blog has suffered a similar fate, which I will try to remedy, but at the moment I decided to make this one my priority.

I was just thinking about resolutions and stuff like that since it's a new year and all. I have always really hated the name of "New Year's Resolution". It's so formal and rigid. Maybe it's the idea of making myself live by it that I like less, but no matter. I have decided to make a few, let's call them changes, this year. #1 - I want to stay in better touch with my family and friends and keep all better updated on what I'm doing and what I'm learning. I'd also love to stay better informed on your lives, but that's up to you. One way I plan to do this is by blogging, but I may call you out of the blue sometime too. I'm trying to make myself uncomfortable by pushing past my boundaries (well, at least a few of them) and reaching out to people more. I know I certainly don't say as much as I feel and I suspect that, in this family especially, I'm not the only one.

#2 - Another change I'm working on is making myself stronger spiritually. Any new books, scriptures, insights you've read/had lately that you're willing to share, please feel free. I can always use encouragement in my studies.

#3 - And how about eating better/being more consistent in my exercise? I'll just throw that one in there because I know I should. Although I really do love to be active and eat well. I know I feel so much better when I do. #4 - And while we're on this subject, I'll add getting more rest. Were we all born w/ the "night owl" gene? Because it's almost torture making myself go to bed before 11 pm! And there you have it.

You may be saying to yourselves, "Well, good for you, but why do I care, exactly?" Well, you might not, but I felt like posting it here would hold me to them a little better. I mean, if you can't trust your family to support you, who can you trust? So. Anyone else wanna join in? Any helpful suggestions on successfully making these changes? Anyone else have any new and great plans for change of their own in the new year?

I agree with your comments and hope to keep in touch better this year by adding to my blog and commenting on others.
My family joined the new REC center in our community. It is a state-of-the-art facility with an indoor pool, track, courts, and lots of weight machines and workout. We hope to set a good example of fitness for life! Thanks for your inspiration.

YEA! Thanks for updating our sad little Bishop Blogorp, Christina! I've looked at it a couple times since May and haven't gotten around to adding anything myself, so thanks for taking the initiative! BTW, all of your goals/resolutions would be good ones for me as well. You have my full support and encouragement! Love you tons! Heather
