My excuse for not doing the things I want to do is always the same: I don't have time. I'm not talking about huge things, just the little things I would like to do, like read a nutrition book or go to the park. But I've always told people (mostly when they tell me they don't have time to read the Bible every day. Bull.) that you make time for the things you want to make time for. So! I have decided that I am going to make time for these things. Because I keep saying, "Oh, I'll make time for that when I'm done for the semester." Or, I'll have time for that when I'm done with grad school."
HA.
Like I will ever allow myself to not be ridiculously busy. And what good is life if you're not really living? Not that reading nutrition books and going to the park every once in a while constitutes really living for every single person on this planet. But currently those are the two things I wish I had time for, so that's what I'm starting with. Starting today, I am (still) going to work on finishing Seeds of Deception, by Jeffrey M. Smith (it's about genetically modified food). And I'll go to the park when it's not dark outside because this city is pretty sketchy at night. Ahem.
Oh! I know! I'll make it a New Year's resolution! Because I always make the same one (to read through my Bible) so I can have a new one this year! I'm reading through my Bible anyway:) Done and done. So here are officially my New Year's resolutions:
1. Read through the Bible in chronological order (first time I've done it like this)
2. Only buy food with fewer than 10 ingredients (so hard!)
3. Make time for the things I want to do:)
Did you make any? What were they?

1-Spend less on groceries
ReplyDelete2-Use time wisely
3-Work more
And then I have specific goals/ways I'm going to accomplish these things noted under each thing. I'll blog about it one of these days . . . when I have time:) Vlad always says that if you're not doing something, you obviously don't want to do it very badly because we always make time for the things that are really important to us.
To eat more food and shoot more guns...
ReplyDeleteWell and to survive..
I will be reading the Bible through, but that's a yearly habit.
