Resolutions: The final list

1) To read 100 books in 2013! -a bit hefty but if I keep the pace at about 2 books per week I should be fine which is something I did in college. Plus I enjoy audio books every Saturday while cleaning the house and running errands and usually finish about one per Saturday so really that leaves just one paper book to read per week.

2) To begin my own writing- this does not mean blogging. This means my own could submit to a publisher by 2014 kinda stuff. This is part of my 100 books in 2013 because I've finally begun to understand what my creative writing professor said about good writing, showing not telling, etc because up until recently I hadn't read many books in my adult life that weren't college course quality literature. I'm not gunna name drop but I've read some good stories written immaturely and am thankful to these not so well written books for being a light into my own writing abilities! Good or bad all books are important!

3) To dance... a lot - Be it out on the town or in my own living room I need to keep myself moving. My own little fitness goal. Just so happens my husband has traded in 16 old xbox games and brought home one very awesome zumba fitness and a Kinect that I can dance with to my little hearts content.

4) Begin and continue some sort of devotional. I even have my own journal to write down reflections in. No doubt something I read about in a book. This year is as good as any to remember how important God is and get to work. Plus I have an old friend whose somewhat blog is listed as a devotional and I always try to support my friends who chose to take on a blog of any sorts. Seems like a real win win here. A closer walk with God in the end is what really matters in a life.

In one year from now I will re-visit this post and home I have a lot to show for it. even if I fall short of my goals. in the mean time: heres to life! Cheers!
