You may remember my New Year’s Resolutions. You may not. Anyhow, I figured I should give an update, since I am stuck in an airport, waiting for a delayed flight, and since an update can count as part of keeping one of the resolutions. So here goes…
My first resolution was that I would read my Bible every day. I also said that would be the hardest! It’s easy to do when I am not busy, and not tired, but when I get busy or tired, guess what goes out of the window first? You guessed it! This needs some work.
There’s not a great deal I can do about the second resolution yet, so I’ll leave it at that.
Third: learning a new language. Haven’t done much about it yet, but I am going to Norway in May, so it would be good to start that. I still intend on brushing up on my French and Italian though. I have tested myself and was surprised by how much I remembered!
Fourth: reading twenty books (and books of the Bible don’t count). Ambitious. Failing miserably. Must do better, like even picking one up…
Fifth: posting on my website more. Hmm. Could do better, eh? To be fair, I am currently working on two new sites, so thois has rather eaten into this time. It will improve…
Sixth: personal best in a 10k race. Well, that won’t happen for a while yet. We’re looking at late summer / early autumn for 10k races, but when it comes round, I’m confident.
Seventh: trying out a new sport. I have joined an American Football team to play in competitively, and fully intend to give curling a go. Good progress.
Eighth: driving test. Let’s not talk about that.
Ninth: new territory on my racing bike. Well, I have gone through Rutherglen, Parkhead, Cambuslang and Garelochhead, so there has been some progress, but it would be good to branch out more too.
Tenth: Of course I am as witty, dark and cutting as ever. I’ve even been told. It’s natural. Why waste a gift?
So there you go. And my plane is still nowhere near.
