I have a very bad track record of New Years Resolutions. Have you been there too? Say, "This year, I'm going to... or I won't...!!!!" Well, it does happen. I am sure that many resolutions from New Years often start out with a BANG, and then end in a whimper.
As much trouble as I have had sticking with my goals, whether it be a physical, spiritual, mental, or just general goals, you might think that I would just give up on resolutions (like a friend of mine did as mentioned on FB this morning). But I say, even if they are not accomplished, goals are always a good thing, as long as they are attainable. I took some time this morning as I was thinking about the past year, and planned out some goals to make my 2011 (twenty-eleven, not two thousand eleven- Im still on that Kick- I don't know why so many are saying two thousand- its just time consuming) a banner year.
Not to mention all of my goals (I kinda like to use the word "Goals" rather than "resolutions"), because some are personal that I would like to keep that way, but some are as follows:
*Spend time with God 5X a week
*Memorize one verse a week
*Finish my Masters degree
*Limit my television watching
*Walk my dog at least 5x a week
*Get a Full-time Permanent Job ( I bet no one could have guessed that one)
*and misc. others as well.
I broke mine down into four Categories- Spiritual, Physical, Mental, and General Goals.
I would encourage anyone on the fence about setting goals for the new year, to just sit down a do it, even if it is just one. To quote an over-quoted quote:
"You miss 100% of the Shots you don't take!" - Wayne Gretzky
So, get those pens out and dream big about what changes can be done.

What lazy kind of person doesn’t make New Year’s resolutions?!?
Humph, it's only one more syllable to say two thousand eleven, it's funny I haven't heard one person say it my way)aka the right way!) I fear I will be haring it your way until I die, 'cause I'm not planning on making it the next turn of the century!=P
