A Renewed Start

Well so long 2009. Last year was probably one of those few tough, exciting, life-changing years and this year looks to continue that trend. That said, here are some personal goals I have for myself during this next turn around the sun.

  1. Complete a half-marathon. I’m probably crazy (and some people have told me as much), but it’s not so much about finishing a half-marathon as it is about the process getting there. The race is just the carrot to get me out there training every week. Going through the process of training though is really what I want to do. Also finishing a half-marathon will be a great cumulation to look back on after going through the entire process.
  2. Finish more books. The word “quality” is key here. After finishing only 11 books in 2009, I found myself sputtering halfway at least half a dozen titles. This year I want to finish books and learn to give up on a book quicker. There are just too many great books out there to waste it on a book I just can’t find myself getting into at that particular moment.
  3. Finally get into a fantasy baseball keeper league. I have a potential opening in a league. It’s an auction league, which intrigues me. Being able to set your roster weekly versus daily? Not so much.
  4. Take more pictures. I’ve always wanted to improve my amateur photography skills, and now I have the best reason to do it.
  5. Take a vacation. We weren’t able to go on vacation this past year because I wanted to save as much time as possible for the arrival of our daughter this past December, and I’m glad I did. But now that’s she here, its time to head back out on the road and relax somewhere. And, preferably, I’m told somewhere with a beach.
  6. Get committed about my faith. Between getting into a small group, becoming more committed to a daily devotional time and spending more time studying Scripture, there’s plenty of room for improvement. With the Lord’s strength, this is one goal I hope I keep.  Thankfully D.A. Carson‘s new daily devotional blog looks to be a great place to start.

Those are my goals for 2010. How about you?
