Resolve in 2015

Here we are, another year! There's a sense of deja vu since last year started the same was as this one. Single, no kids, half painted/half-organized house, mostly living paycheck to paycheck because money burns a hole in my pocket. I'm a work in progress in so many aspects. My life is in a constant state of disarray. I have a bad habit of starting things and not finishing them. This applies to projects, relationships, books... and definitely resolutions. I have such high expectations for others - but apparently none for myself. How can I expect for others to meet them if I'm not? It's time for a change...a change of epic proportions.

So...here we are, another year. Will this be the year that I meet my own expectations? Let's hope and pray so. I have a new car and a new FitBit... so let's get crackin' with other new changes!

My long list of 2015 goals and resolutions:

♡Finish painting the rooms in my house!
♡Complete the Bible in 90 Days reading plan (that I started 600-some odd days ago. I'd say I'm a little behind.)
♡Send one handwritten note per week to someone vis USPS (a lost art, if you ask me.)
♡Read more books (my goal is 100 - track them on the GoodReads app!)
♡Drink more water (goal: 1 gallon a day! Using the Water Your Body app to track!)
♡Make better food choices - eat less processed foods - cook more!
♡Get serious about my gym time. I spend a lot of money on a trainer and I'm not using her like I should!
♡Organize my time more effectively. (Step 1 - use my expensive planner to 100% capability.)
♡Use my real camera more often. I love taking pictures but they're all on my phone. (The Lord may be at work on this one since one of the cameras on my phone broke and the other one is barely hanging on...)
♡Last, but certainly not least - prepare more for my Sunday School lessons. I'm guilty of glancing over the lesson book 15 minutes before class begins and winging it. And my kids deserve better.

So, there we have it. My list of things to do. No excuses. Hopefully I can effectively manage my time and blog about my progress. Or will this become one more thing that I do halfway? Stay tuned!
