The New Year

2010 is almost one week old already, and I am just finishing up my goals for the year. I found a new way to list them from another blog this year, and I like how they are organized into different categories:

Spiritual:

• Get involved in our new church.

Personal:

• Keep a consistent bedtime.
• Complete P90X.
• Send a card or letter to one friend each month (snail-mail).
• Blog more regularly.
• Focus on sharpening my photography and video editing skills.

 Parenting:

• Focus on the values behind actions with Zach.
• Start some Pre-K schooling for Zach.
• Begin potty-training with Rebekah in the fall.
• Serve a wider variety of food to both children.
• Be more deliberate in tying God into our everyday conversations.
• As soon as Rebekah is a full-time walker, get outside with the kids every day - even if just for a few minutes.

Homemaking:

• Deep clean and organize one room a month in my house.
• Update phone contacts and address book and transfer information to the computer.
• Make sure I have a shiny kitchen sink before I go to bed each night. 

Financial:

• Make weekly budget meetings a priority.
• Lower my weekly grocery budget by $10.
• Focus on building up emergency fund and HSA.

Well, there you have it. My 2010 goals. One week late, but I still have 51 weeks to accomplish them :) If you haven't set goals for 2010 yet, I hope this inspires you to at least think about some tangible goals in these categories of your life. Happy New Year!
