365 list

The 365 List

I've never really done "resolutions". I like the idea of this 365 list. I admit, when I first stumbled upon it I thought I was about to read a list of 365 things a random person had listed out to work on over the coming year. I was pleasantly surprised to find this instead. An idea that I think is not only motivational and inspirational but set up in a way that allows your goals to be achievable.

3 things to work on this year

1. Organizing the entire house and keeping it that way.  We have a lot of things to get rid of donate
2. Giving Darren more attention, hugs, kisses, praise, appreciation, touches, love
   
3. I need to treat my camera as I do my cell phone.  Taking it everywhere I go and using it on daily basis.
   

6 Things I want to do this year

1. Take our 1st annual summer vacation.
2. Run 2 5k's or 1 5k and 1 10k.
   
3. Photograph, Photograph, Photograph
   
4. Get additional tattoos to near completion of my left arm shoulder/chest work of art.
5. Go to Missouri to visit my friend Angie. (this will be news to her I haven't talked to her in way too long)
   
6. Start work on a biography writing project I've been meaning to do for two years now. 
   

5 Things to get rid of this year

1. Migraines - even if it means taking daily medication. I admit my defeat and seek relief.
   
2. Anything bad with my teeth. This is the year I will have any and all teeth related things completed. And then maybe as a treat and a motivational tool - teeth whitening.
   
3. Our high mortgage payment.
   
4. Our oven
   
5. Our old decrepit hot water tank

Wishing everyone a safe, happy and healthy 2010.  May you accomplish your goals, aspire to betterment and hold your loved ones nice and tight.
