- Keep up with Pacifica's Bible reading plan: Pacifica church has a one-chapter-a-day Bible reading plan this year and David and I are totally on board with it. I'm not going to be perturbed if we skip some days and play catch up during others. Real life happens and some days will be busier than others. The goal is to keep up.
- Close home projects that I've started: So I have a couple of home projects that are started but never finished. Projects like hanging fabric as art in the living room, reupholstering the bench and making a braided rug. I will, however, reserve every right to choose to abandon projects. Basically I just want some sort of closure on all the loose projects. Actually, I think I already made up my mind to abandon the braided rug project as I realized it's more time & effort than it is worth and the space I had intended for it to live had changed.
- Do something green: I guess where you live can really shape a person and living in the Bay Area, the home of tree huggers, has had its affects on me. And I'm glad because I think it's for the better. I've been wanting to do some composting for maybe two years now but just never got started. Well, maybe this is the year that I do! Another thing I'd love to do is somehow reduce our trash. Not sure how I'd accomplish that, but I like the idea of it. I think a major hurdle is just education, so I'll try to watch youtube videos and follow more green blogs this year if nothing else.
- Organize the garage: I know I can organize our garage. I've pinned half a dozen organization ideas that would work in the garage so it's just a matter of getting off my butt and doing it.
- Have fun & make memories: My last goal is to add some fun to balance out my life a bit. Last year we had a budget called "David + Jen" that was meant for us to take classes, see plays and try something new. Well, we ended up not using most of that money so I hope that we will take advantage of it this year. David wants to go ice skating and do mini-golf and I think it's great! Hmm, maybe we'll do that this Sunday. :) I think sometimes just working and working (both work & church) can make someone really grumpy and edgy. Recently an older sister told me that I need to take time to do something just for myself and balance things out a bit. I plan to heed her advice. After all, I want to last my term as RA and hopefully come out the other end not feeling completely jaded, but rather feeling joy and peace.
