Non New Year's Resolutions

Most everyone who knows me, knows that I don't make New Year's Resolutions. But I do love the feeling of a clean slate. Proverbial as it may be, it's just a good feeling to know that you have a whole year of do-overs! The rebel I am won't allow me to call them resolutions, so here is my list of things I want to do more of, accomplish, or include in my life in 2011 (in no particular order)!

  1. Spend more time with girlfriends. I hardly ever do this but it feels good when I do.
  2. Get back into the gym and train for a half marathon in October. Yes, it will take me that long (I hate to run).
  3. Stop complaining. I don't do too much of this but I really want to omit this from my life altogether.
  4. Make a daily effort to pay it forward by practicing random acts of kindness and never pass up a chance to encourage someone.
  5. Save money for our family trip to Denver CO.
  6. Redo my foyer (already started :)).
  7. Have at least 52 blog posts for the year.
  8. Read more - beginning with the Bible and following with other pieces of positive literature (books, magazines, etc).
  9. Act silly more often.
  10. Live with more reckless abandon and faith. Make fewer lists, stress less about little expenses, paint furniture even if it doesn't look like you'd hoped, and give away stuff at a rate only God can keep up with ;).
