New Year’s Resolutions 2009: The serious side

Posted on January 2, 2009 by unfinishedperson| 4 Comments

In keeping with the breakdown of this blog into three themes, body, mind and soul, I give you my 10 New Year’s resolutions:

Body

  1. Run at least three times a week and go to gym at least twice a week.
  2. Use WeightWatchers/SparkPeople to assist with weight loss.
  3. Run/walk God’s Country Marathon June 6, three days before 40th birthday.

Mind

  1. Send out  books as promised on Just A (Reading) Fool
  2. Combine three existing  blogs, Just A (Running) Fool, Just A (Reading) Fool, Journeying with the Saints into this blog, and for less serious blog entries, use Unfinished Rambler. So short version: Cut back to two blogs.
  3. Get a job. Now working two part-time jobs, as a newspaper correspondent and at a small town bookstore, but need a full-time job with benefits.

Soul

  1. Attend Mass regularly.
  2. Pray Morning and Evening Prayer.
  3. Become oblate for Mt. Saviour Monastery.

Overall: Spend more (quality) time with The Wife.

For my less than serious resolutions, visit Unfinished Rambler: No smoking, drinking, joking about drinking or asterisks.

    Have you read the book My Life with the Saints? It’s a memoir by a Jesuit priest that looks at the saints that have been important to his spiritual life-you might enjoy it.
