New Endeavours

As the year is coming to an end and 2010 is upon us, we think of the changes we'd like to make for the new year. Most people make new years resolutions, in hopes of improving the quality of their lives. Some stick to it for weeks, maybe even months, but routines sets in and we are back in our ruts. Lets challenge ourselves this year. Let us set some "Goals." Some that are attainable and specific. Like, I will walk more or introduce a new sport into my routine rather then the vast resolution of "I will lose weight." Try some slight changes that though might seem small - will redirect our course.
Here are some of my past goals for a new year:
Throw a party, take a class, Plant a garden, volunteer at a shelter, mentor a child, try a new recipe 1x a month, start a new bible study, learn a new skill, try a new restaurant 1x a month, join a gym, organize a closet, create something beautiful, look for opportunities to help others, eat more veggies, start a joy journal, encourage someone 1x a week, Make a new Friend ..ect...
All these are examples of goals that are fun attainable and can be marked off through out the year, or made into a habit. They can lead you to new endeavours and into uncharted sea's. Life can be fun and New! Be thinking of some goals for the new year.
To Change ones life: start immediately. Do it flamboyantly. no exceptions. - William James
