Resolutions

I’m not sure I care for the word “resolution.” It seems too determined. To be resolved to change, you really have to put a lot of effort into it, right? I think this year I’ll have some goals and not feel miserable or like a failure if I’m not perfect at achieving them all the time. (The Romgi, do you see how much I’ve learned in the past year?)

Some of my 2011 goals:

• Eat more healthy food and less junk food
• Be frugal
• Teach the Bwun (basic gospel principles, letters, opposites, etc.)
• Go on a date with the Romgi at least once per quarter
• Write in my journal weekly
• Develop patience by learning to think, even briefly, before speaking or acting
• Be more disciplined about following a daily routine

I’m about to start working on my first goal when I get up to go eat breakfast in a minute. There’s leftover chocolate pumpkin cake that the Romgi made yesterday and it’s tempting to have that, but my plan is to have some fruit and toast instead. (We’re at the Romgi’s parents’ house right now – when we get home I’m going to make a great menu and go grocery shopping for the next week. Here’s to more healthy food and less junk food!)

Did you make any resolutions or goals for this year?
