This list is called "Life's Little Instructions"..... when I was thinking about my resolutions and goals for some reason this list came to my mind. These are relatively simple things but I would like to focus on these a little more throughout 2010.

I'm going to add a few more here as well:


Run my first 5K.
Drink more water.
Write my sister at least once every couple of weeks at college.
Get a pedicure at least once a month.
Try a new recipe at least once a month.
Stay away from soda.
Give more-Take less.
Fervently pray for my sponsor child and write him frequently.
Blog in the evening and read blogs in the evening to focus more at work.
Focus more on school.
Play with my dog more.
Pay off debt.
Spend more quiet time with God.
Read more.

And I'm sure there's so much more I'm leaving out, but as long as I'm trying to better myself from year to year, then that's the most important goal I could ever achieve!!!
