2014 New Year's Resolutions

Let me just say right off the bat that this is going to be a huge year. Epic. Awesome. I can just feel it. Maybe I'm setting your expectations too high, but it is just a fact that a lot of stuff is going to happen this year.  Maybe I should call this 2014 New Year's Facts because they ARE going to happen.

1. Fact: I am going to turn 40. Resolution: I am going to do it gracefully, and feel happy about it.

2. Fact: We are adding a second story to our house. Resolution: We are going to do it with minimum conflict as a couple, and end up with a house that we are both happy with.

3. Fact: I am going to leave my job. Resolution: I am going to do this sooner rather than later in the year.

4. Fact: I have a novel. Resolution: I am going to edit it, and possibly let someone read it. I *might* even write another novel, but probably not until November.

In light of these heavy duty life decision type resolutions, I am going to go easier on myself on lower key resolutions.

5. I will try team penning.

6. I will read at least 5 books.

7. I will buy at least one album released in 2014 and two albums released in 2013. (This is easy, as I already know what I want to get)

8. Run 304 miles. This is just about 5.8 miles a week, or under 2 runs a week. This is less than I usually run. But if I run at least 304 miles, I will have recorded 2000 miles of running since I started four years ago.

Okay, I am going to marinate on these for a few hours. I might come back and edit, or I might not. Either way, have a safe and happy New Years!
