Goals for 08

I've never really been big on resolutions. I always make them... and never follow through. Or get to realize once again... that there are some things that I just stink at. So this year I was praying about resolutions... wanting God to be a part of this "new year". And He showed me... it's not about resolutions. If you wanna change something, don't wait for the new year. Start today! It doesn't matter when you start something... it's that you do it. Anyways... so this year I didn't make any resolutions... I made myself some goals. And I tried to keep them so that they were attainable. We'll see...

• Be on time. (this is something I've ALWAYS struggled with... from birth I believe. It seems that I'm always late these days. I want to change this.)
• Do better at keeping in touch with friends. (Again... something that I suck at. Just ask my friends. But i've started on a good foot. I called a couple of friends that I haven't talked to in a while. It was wonderful to catch up with them.)
• Budget! (This is another area of my life that I've struggled with most of my life... At least since I was old enough to have money. I was the one who always spent the money while my sister is the saver. I started my budget last year... and so far it's going ok. I still struggle with it obviously, but it's something God has asked me to do so I must do it.)
• Visit Texas ASAP and as much as possible. I'm trying to change my attitude about that state... really I am.
• Be happy with where God has me. And if not... pray for a change.
• As always... get healthy. And actually... I'm starting this goal off simple. Starting yesterday, I'm giving up real soda and I'm only allowed one diet soda a day. (this is big for me somedays). Other than that... it's H2O for me. There are some exceptions to this rule. If I'm eating out... water. But if it's Mexican... ONE diet soda (no refills) I can't handle the spice with just water. And on weekends... I'm allowed ONE can or small sized regular soda. My goal with this is to start out simple... and then make more changes. And maybe there are a lot of exceptions... but it's a start right?

These may be added to on a later date... but for now this is it. I'll keep you updated on how they are going. =-)
