1. Don't kill Neville. That's what I've decided to call my plant. I've already had to pick off a couple dead leaves, but I'm hoping that's normal. I keep sticking my finger into the dirt to make sure he's not dry. I hope he doesn't find that too intrusive.
2. Read through the whole Bible in a year. I haven't done this since high school, so I thought it was time to give it another go. I really appreciated Jon Acuff's post on his blog "Stuff Christians Like" about already being behind. Since I am.
3. Drink more water. I just always forget! Unless I'm eating or exercising. I just don't think to drink unless I'm really thirsty. And apparently, if you feel thirsty, you're already dehydrated. Or maybe that's just an old wives tale? Whatever. I know this goal isn't really concrete, but there's no way I'm committing to drinking 8 glasses a day or something like that. I just want to work on remembering to drink more.
4. Run ten miles. Right now? This seems impossible. The most I've ever run at once is five miles. But I figure that I need something to work towards so I can stay motivated. This would be a pretty sweet accomplishment.
5. Eat more chocolate. Now, here's a resolution I can sink my teeth into. This is guaranteed to happen! A year from now, I will have kept at least one of these resolutions.
Althought, hopefully I will have also read through the whole Bible, run ten miles, be fully hydrated, and still have Neville and not just a pile of dust in a pot.
