As 2012 turned to 2013, I re-evaluated what goals i’d hit on in 2012, and which I had yet to accomplish. It’s a constant process, and it’s stellar to see it unfold. However, it’s true that I’ve never been about the new-year’s aspect of new years resolutions, and the reality is, I never hit up any goals for 2013.
So, instead of the typical new year benchmark . . . I’m using my birthday!
Goals for my twenty-second year:
- Get healthy. [It’s vague, it encompasses a lot of things, but is it ever relevant right now.]
- Walk a 10K race. [Last year, wouldn’t have been a big thing. This year, after the asthma shenanigans and the anemia shenanigans, I’m starting from zero. And that’s scary–however, if it doesn’t scare you, it doesn’t change you.]
- Active choices: Make them.
- Visit new places near and far.
- Pass anatomy.
- Create more. [Writing, music, video: it all counts.]
- Journal (at least) weekly.
- Be more mindful–focus on the present.
- Abandon apathy. [Special relevance in regard to asthma/sinus care, but also everything].
- Learn more about learning more.
- Trust the process.
- Continue to recognize the Good Things.
i’m one year older now since the last time i saw you / in case you wanna know, i’m about to say what i’m up to […] / some peace of mind is what i want, but that will be the day.
[…] searching for the energy and the time to make a change / to make a change in my life / instead of watching it pass by / get something done while i’m alive.i’m twenty two / don’t know what i’m supposed to do / or how to be / to get some more out of me. […]
afraid that i will be weak forever / i can’t stay in this shape any longer […] / i’ve been going with the flow for too long now / this must end / running ’round in circles / i’ve been so far from myself / i try to activate myself the best i can / so boredom won’t catch up with me / i got my daily plan.
twenty two, millencolin
I know you and I listen to different music… but…. This is the song I think about when I think about 22. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgFeZr5ptV8 🙂
Yay goals! I believe in you! And travel – yay travel! And races! I’ll be cheering for you the whole way.
LOL, my friend Simi also told me about that song! :]
Think we can get somebody to sponsor me to come to Israel? I wonder how I can start rocking more asthma-related travel ;). Thanks for all of your support–always :D.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR KERRI!!! 🙂 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEc8rGonrQw 🙂
