It is pretty apparent 'New Years Resolutions' don't stick well. Instead I desire to create a list of events, activities, progressions, and changes that I would like to accomplish or at least aim for in 2010...
Events:
-Design and host a beautiful, small wedding that is both memorable and joyful for everyone involved.
-Experience a week to remember, following the wedding, filled with John Mayer live, Dallas attractions that only tourists experience, and a road trip to anywhere and nowhere with my loving new husband.
Activities:
-I want to maintain this workout high I have adopted this last week, eventually leading me to joining a yoga studio and being consistent with it
-I miss painting, creating collages, drawing, or simply just doodling. I used to escape for an hour or so a day by just engaging in one of these activities... my life felt way less stressful, and I was surrounded by art constantly.
Progressions:
-I would love to dive deeply into more Beth Moore Bible studies or perhaps get into a C.H. Spurgeon daily devotional. The two Bible studies I committed to this past year really lit a flare for my spiritual walk, and enlightened my biblical knowledge and understanding.
-As of late, my position at the salon has felt a bit muddled, I have lost my clear focus on my daily tasks and my main purpose in my role as the marketing personnel.... I wish to recapture this in the new year while perhaps moving up through the ranks (however that may mean). God has placed me in the position I am in for a reason and I hate the idea that I am wasting my time and talents when I could be exercising them in new and different ways.
-I want to graduate in 2010. I want so badly to be done with my undergraduate and put my learned skills and refined knowledge to work. It still feels a little impossible, but I know nothing is impossible.
Changes:
-Ben and I are looking to move to a place in Lewisville, where we'll both be closer to our work as well as more accessible to family. This will be a huge change for us, as we both have made our individual lives in Denton for the past 5 or more years. It's scary and exciting all at once. Many new opportunities will arise as well as many new decisions will surface that may change our entire life as we know it. What campus will we make home? Will we continue to plant roots into the Denton community or will we uproot and start anew in Flower Mound or maybe even Dallas?
What is your 2010 Wish List? What do you hope to accomplish, change, or at least aim for?
I thank God for the opportunity to see another year come and go. This last year had its challenges and heights, but it was a year that saw many great times with friends and family and will forever host a very important date for Benjamin and me. As I told Ben's father yesterday, we grew deeper with one another during our experienced vallies this last year and our relationship was polished with the sweet moments. I cannot wait to see what this next year holds, it is promised to be a good year, but only time will tell how great it may be.
