This year, I decided not to make a resolution because they're either too easy to break, or to hard to maintain. Instead, I chose the word "intentional" to help me make better choices, or improvements in my life.
Last November, I chose to walk every day, intentionally, no matter how the rest of the day had gone. And it was mostly successful. There were 2 days I didn't make it to a park, but made an intentional walk around my workplace (walmart). Part of this was also create photos as I was out and about in the local patks.
My choices each day are improving, but there are a couple of things that need doing better, especially in my water intake.
I am near the end of my 30 day challenge of listening to Christian music during my commutes. Its going well, and I like it!
One song's lyrics that remind me every day that it's all going to be ok goes like this:
"You've walked me through fires, pulled me from flames. If You're in this with me, I won't be afraid. When the smoke billows higher, and it feels I can barely breathe, I'll walk through these fires, cause You're walking with me. (Sung by John St Cyr)
Every day, I try my best to make each choice intentional. As a result, I am walking more, and watching less TV.
As an added bonus, while the second Friday of January is known as "quitters day", I'm still working on mine!
