2010 is here!

01/01/10 has come and gone. Good day; resolutions are still intact. Here are my unofficial goals for the year, in no particular order:

  • Feel good about my body. To do that I am going to integrate more exercise into my life, eat better, and wear clothes that I feel good in.
  • Spend more time in prayer. I haven't formulated my plan for this quite yet. Today was a holy day of obligation, so I was lucky enough to spend an hour with Jesus this morning.
  • Self-sacrifice more. I want to resist the urge to let people know when I've done something to help someone. I want to just do it in honor of God, to know in my heart that God is smiling down on me and to realize that that's all the recognition I need.
  • Live more simply. I feel like I'm forever in the process of going through old memory items and deciding what to keep and what to pitch. Part of me wants to rid myself of all material possessions, but another part of me really enjoys my things and tells me that part of my burden in life is to find the appropriate balance between living in this world and living of this world.

So, there you have it. Hopefully I can keep these goals. Wait, I need to be more positive. I WILL keep these goals. Because they will lead me to the ultimate goal: eternal life with Jesus.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
