New Year's Resolutions?

Okay, okay, okay...it's been over a year since I've written anything.  I know!  But you have no idea how crazy this past year has been.  About this time last year is when I started preparing for teaching my first full time job.  I had no idea at the time how fully consuming it would be to all parts of my life.  For those of you who actually want to see me now and then, don't worry.  Things get better.  Teaching becomes less exhausting, planning takes up less time, and grading...well, I may just be out of luck on that one forever.  I'll figure out something to do about that!
My point in all of this is that I dropped the ball on things that meant a lot to me last year, and in place of them came teaching.  I actually counted, and with the amount of hours I worked each week within the ten-month period, I actually worked the same amount as a person works at over 40 hours within the whole year.  I only saw friends about once every two months.  I rarely exercised.  I never read my Bible except to prepare for c-group.  And really, I gave up so much more.  Ugh...it was awful.  With only weeks before I have to step back into the classroom again, I've really been thinking a lot about how to avoid that this year.  I need balance in my life - we all do - and the only way that's going to happen is if I make it happen.  It's my choice.  And since it's a new year (for teachers and students, anyway), I've decided to create a list of "resolutions" to start things off right.  These are things I want to do regularly, no matter how school's going.  I figured I'd throw it out there for all to see.  That way maybe I'll have a little accountability for it!  Resolutions are notorious for being broken, but not this time.  Huh-uh, not me!  So...here we go:

1) read my Bible every day
2) work out every day
3) visit with a friend once a week
4) get involved in a weekly ministry
5) read at least four books for myself this year
6) write on my blog at least once a week
7) keep the apartment clean
8) spend weekly intentional time with my husband
9) do something new at least once a month
10) do something outside at least once a month

Okay...ten months of school and ten goals.  Not that each one correlates to a month, by any means, but it's kind of a good way to count down, right?  Go for it month by month?  I think so, anyway.  So for all of you reading this, please do check in on me!  Ask me if I'm reading my Bible, come work out with me, or ask to hang out some time!  I would really appreciate it.  Last year was a bit of a disaster.  Though I love teaching in so many ways, if I don't stick to these resolutions I may go crazy.  Help me out with this one, would ya!?
