Happy New Year!

So 2010's arrived and it sounds so Sci-Fi to me, like I'm not living it but reading about it in a book. I can't believe it's 2010 and I'm living it. It's surreal.

So after last night's celebration and preparing to celebrate with family today, I started thinking about the good old New Year Resolutions. Admittedly I try not to make any because, like most people, I don't keep them.

I've managed to successfully keep one resolution which is to read the Bible daily. I've actually done this several years in a row and then in 2009 I took a break to see how knowledge of the Bible's teachings influenced my life. Had I retained anything? Or, was I simply performing the task of rote reading without learning anything?

I discovered I'd retained many lessons from the Bible and realized that I missed reading it daily. I felt empty.  Disconnected.  Lonely. I can't explain why I felt this way only that I did and I found myself wanting to read the Bible mid-summer.

So I surprised myself when I easily came up with five resolutions:

1. Lose weight


2. Read the Bible daily


3. Spend more time with my mother. Maybe start a new tradition of Sunday dinner.


4. Take a photo a day


5. Learn to play Mahjong (I own two sets and have not learned how to play!)

Let's see how I fair!
