The start of something new

My New Years resolutions.

1) Journal once a week.

2) Get a job.

3) Practice at least once a week.

4) Work out (as in, serious "go somewhere and do something" work outs) at least once a week. Small daily exercise.

5) Cook new meals... more often. Use cookbooks... more often.

6) Figure out Facetime

7)  (Repeat goal) Write more often. Something every week (journal doesn't count). A poem, a story, descriptive essay, something. Write a chapter a month on the novel I started last November. As long as applicable.

8) (Repeat goal) Do "Artistic Progressions." Once a month... more follow through on the photo evidence.

9) Keep up with old friends. And cousins. And people from home.

10) Make new friends, don't be afraid to branch out. Get to know people in my classes.

11) Keep up with my blog.

12) Go to the temple at least 12 times.

13) Study the scriptures 30 minutes a day. 15 in the morning, 15 at night.
learn how to count.
15) Read missionary letters. They aren't doing any good in my inbox.

16) Share my testimony, or a little bit of the Gospel more often. Once a week through social media or a personal email, and as often as possible on fast Sunday.

17) Write an in-depth monthly email/newsletter thing. Send to friends and family.

18) Read more. For fun. For facts. For enrichment. The Faults in our Stars, more Jane Austen, a couple of Shakespeare plays, TIME magazine.... just stuff.

19) Be more generous. With my words to others. With my time. With my actions. With my candy hoard....

20) Come up with/complete a scriptural challenge once a week. Write down experiences in a special place.

21) Do more service.

22) Start mission papers and go on a mission.

23) Support friends who are getting married/going on missions, moving into new stages of life...

24) WRITE to missionaries! Especially my cousins. I've never been very good at that.

25) Be awesome.
