Resolutions Out in the Open

I decided today that I would write down a few of my resolutions for this year. Of course I am just going to write some of them down and hold off on the ones that are personal (a little too personal for the World Wide Web!) Here goes! In the year 2007…

  1. I will blog more often, and when I blog, I will write about topics that are really important to me and/or of great interest.
  2. I will run a half marathon and a marathon this year.
  3. I will make a conscientious effort each day to drink more water. (And who really drinks 8 cups a day without that effort.)
  4. I will receive my master’s degree in Instructional Psychology and Technology.
  5. I will start a doctoral program.
  6. I will make time to ponder and reflect.
  7. I will learn to play tennis.
  8. I will continue to practice the piano and the guitar.
  9. I will continue to stay up on my Romanian by reading at least once per week, writing to my friends in Romanian, and visiting Romanians who live here in the US.
  10. I will make at least one person happy every day.
  11. I will post these resolutions on my blog to fully commit myself.

    12. We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.” - Edith Lovejoy Pierce

    I didn’t know you were studying Instructional Psychology and Technology. My web analytics professor (Dr. Rogers) just received his PhD in Instructional Psychology and Technology.

    Anyways, I wish you luck on your goals.

    I know you will accomplish these goals, along with the personal goals that are not listed in this forum. You have unlimited capacity to perform well and finish whatever you start. You are the most disciplined and virtuous person I know. Your virtue stems from the good habits you have developed in your life…your ability to consistently do good things over and over again.

    Hi Jimmy. Yes, I know Dr. Rogers. Clint, right? He’s a great guy. I didn’t know he taught Web analytics. How fun. Thanks for the well wishes on the goals.

    Whitney,

    Great goals! I tried drinking more water once– and I agree that it takes a great deal of effort. :)

    When will you be training for the half-marathon? A friend and I also are looking to start training… let us know if you want to join up for a run sometime.

    Hi Carolynn! Thanks for your message. I have just started training for the half marathon. Yes, I would love to join up with the two of you to go running. Please let me know when you want to go.
