Here's To New Beginnings

Happy New Year to everyone, and yes I realize I'm a couple days late. I've been having a difficult time deciding what I want my New Year's resolutions to be. I don't want to make too many and overwhelm myself; I want them to be more meaningful than "eat healthier" & "work out more", and I want them to not only enhance my life, but to make other's lives more meaningful as well. I don't really think that all of my resolutions accomplish those things, but hey, I tried!

So I'm hoping that by putting them "in writing", it will help hold myself accountable to them. 
Here's what I got:
-Stop apologizing for things I have no reason to be sorry for (i.e. my feelings).
-Finish reading the Bible (I'm a little shy of being halfway through) and put God's teachings to work in my own life.
-Start regularly volunteering somewhere I'm passionate about
-Get healthy physically, psychologically, spiritually, and socially
And Finally...
-Sidenote: I have an obsession with books; Half Price Bookstore is one of my FAVORITE stores. I have a bad habit of buying books even though I have plenty of unread books that I already own. 
So my resolution is to finish all of the books I already have before I can buy or borrow any more. According to my last count, I need to read 23 books before purchasing/borrowing any more, which at the rate I've been going, should be a piece of cake!

Hope you all had a great holiday season!
