Resolutions Check In
As the end of this year approaches, I thought I would check in with my resolutions and see how I’ve done. They were:
1. Read More
2. Stay In Touch
3. Eat Healthier and Friendlier
4. Become More Spiritual
5. Worry Less About My Love Life
I would say that overall I have done quite well, considering I usually break my resolutions. For all five, I could totally do more and improve.
I did read more this year than last year, especially lately. In the past couple of months I have been able to turn off my television and my computer, put on some music and read. I had a hard time with that when I first moved in. I felt like I always had to have the TV on for company and kind of to feel safe. Silence was eery to me, and so was just listening to music. I’ve made great strides in this department these past weeks. I’m sort of on a reading kick right now, so I want to keep that up.
Staying in touch has been inconsistent. I’m quiet and private and I dread phone calls. I need to continue working in this area.
Eating healthier and friendlier was inconsistent too. But I do believe that I’ve become a much better cook this year and know how to make better choices about food and about ingredients.
Spirituality is where I’ve lacked the most. I have made no improvements in this area. Sure I’m spiritual, but I haven’t spent any time on it in activity or reflection. Somehow I’m all right with that and I don’t know if that would make next year’s list.
Finally, my love life. This was probably my biggest area of improvement. I have definitely just been going with the flow. Granted I have made little demonstrative progress, but inside I am free from it and that’s what matters. What happens, happens.

I seriously loved Ikea. I was so stimulated in that place by the possiblities that I became over stimulated like a little 2 year old. At one point Rick told me, “ok take a deep breath for a minute”. It was kinda funny. I told him, “This place makes me feel almost high or something!” The colors, the styles..it’s just a really cool place. I wish we had one closer. But, Rick promises that we can drive out for the sole purpose every six months or so, so I’m going to save my money and make a semi-annual trip out. I can decide what I want to see online first.
